Dear Doc,
I had high risk sex on Oct 27th, 2009 Night. I was really scared..next day I went to a Doctor.. and he suggested a few tests. I gave my blood sample on 4th November for which the results came negative.
Following tests were carried on:
1. HIV-1 RNA(Qualitative) Detection: MEthod-(RT-PCR)
2. HIV-DUO(Serum) by CMIA(IV Generation test)
HIV-p24 antigen detection, serum by ELFA
Nucleic acid detection: HIV-Proviral DNA, blood by PCR.
Now, my question is since the test sample was as early as the eighth day; can I rely completely on the results? or should I take another test in 3 months. Please advice.

First, there are no doctors on free forum. Second, there is a forum dedicated to HIV questions. The link is above in blue letters.
