4th generation duo test 23 days after exposure?
I had sex with a prostitute first we started with condoms and i ejaculated ,after ejaculation we lied there for some time, then she again inserted my penis inside her vagina it was just like 6 thrusts and my penis went limp, taking it out after just 6 thrusts i noticed she had already taken off the condom and this 6 thrusts were unprotected vaginal,,,now I started getting paranoid and hyped up....I took the 4th generation duo test 23 days after possible exposure and the result came back as negative...studying all the facts and links from google and Q&A of forums it seems that my result could be a false negative..I have not noticed any symptoms of ARS except sore throat from the 2nd week of exposure however no fever, rashes and muscle pain has appeared and now its already 29 days past exposure....What is the accuracy of the duo test (4th gen ELISA) if taken 23 days after possible exposure?...please reply...I am getting paranoid and in the verge of nervous breakdown...Please enlighten me...

Your results are highly reassuring and unlikely to change otherwise. However recommended test period is 4 weeks, so just repeat the test after a few days
This is peer to peer advice so no one here is a doctor here. Talk with the clinic or doctor where you got the test if they say it is conclusive let it be.
You don't need to test again, the window period for the kind of test you took is 3-4 weeks after exposure or 21-28 days and you did it at 23 days. So no further test is needed.
I took the test again 7 weeks after exposure and the result came back non reactive. But I am still have sore throat and it has not subsided even after administration of different antibiotics. Can I consider my result conclusive and go on, or is their a possibility of this being false result (since I am experiencing sore throat since a long period now) ? Please do reply.
I was high at that moment, and also was exhausted due to the previous act so, I did not notice I curse myself everyday and want to get back to that time to correct the mistake but what can I do now? What about my sore throat its their for more thhan 6 weeks now?
Vance, why do you simply conclude that he doesn't have HIV when he clearly admits that he had unprotected sex?
Yes that is true, but there is a very strong chance that antigen would be found at this time period.
But Vance is basing is calculation on the second test 7 week's after exposure.
If you take the two test's that delta 507 said he had and they were Duo, then he does not have HIV.
Vance is right.
