Day 39 for 2nd genration hiv antibody test accuracy
Hi,
I recently received oral plus rimjob from sex worker who I highly suspect hv hiv. I did a hiv antibody test at day 39, doc told me it was a 2nd gen elisa after I received the negative result. Qn:
1. Will a long rimjob pose a more danger than insertive oral?
2. Elisa gen 2 at day 39, hw confident can I be with this result? 80, 90 or 95 per cent? I understand from a graph given somewhere it says gen 2 start to detect antibody starting day 38. How true?
So far, I m in my 45th day post exposure. No ars symptoms except flushing on the 3rd day. I am very stressed over this. Hope someone can gimme a piece of advice here. Thanks.

By the way, my doc phone me today to inform me that he made a mistake in the test generation. Its a Siemens 3rd generation antibody test. Frankly I nvr heard of ppl using this. Does this improves the accuracy slightly to say 98 percent since its a newer gen?

Take the test again at 6-8 weeks for a near conclusive result. Then 3 months to comply with federal guidelines.
For the benefit of ppl here still using gen 2 antibody test, is 39 days equals to 5.5 weeks a accurate result? What r the chances that the virus is not pock up? Anyone can help pls?
Thanks james.
I m just worried that the mucous membrane around the anus will be the vulnerable point for the hiv virus as compared to the more durable mucous membrane else where in the body. Cos when she rims the saliva may hv the virus which attcks the weak membrane. Pls help me understand if that not the case. Appreciate ur explanation. Thanks in advance.

I tested on 5th day of exposure n positive for herpes 1 probably she has given me that during rimming. Does this increase my risk for hiv. Or anyone here has similar experience to share n lemme knw the outcome. This is really killing me.
