test PCR

Hello again

After having a display of mutual oral sex without ejaculation, I did a quick test at 6 weeks i Detection antigen p24 HIV antibodies 1-2 giving negative

Today I visited the doctor and I still have problems swollen glands, malaise, some peeling of the skin and stomach pain has told me to get tested for HIV RNA PCR, as I have said that the rapid tests six weeks after Detection HIV p24 antigen antibodies 1-2 i getting a negative result are not conclusive and need to take another test this, so I have a bit scared again, as it can be within the window period

This is so? I can be safe with me I did the tests.

thank you very much

Yes, I do not understand is why the doctor tells me to do this test because it is more definitive and it is possible a change in the window period
