He is from Nigeria, Africa. Most HIV are from that country, even the Group 0 & N also. I afraid will be infected by these rare virus  (Group 0 & N) from his country. Somemore my country's (Malaysia) testing methods does not know whether can detect these rare virus (Group 0 & N) or not?

How about the Groups? I mean the Group 0 & N, not just only the subtypes, can be detected by BP Lab and Path Lan in Malaysia?

I remembered the Black Guy from Nigeria, Africa. During the sex, his penis still stay inside me my as s and fuxk me for at least 5 minutes. I afraid his semen will slip out from condom when he was fuxking me and his penis become softer After he had injected his semen inside me with condom. Is that still consider Safe Sex?

a 3rd generation test detects all subtypes...you dont have to worry about its sensitivity and specificity
anyways, you will only test negative as you had no risk..

How about a 3rd generation of EIA? Kumar in this forum said BP Lab in Malaysia is using the 3rd generation of EIA. Is this 3rd generation of EIA can detect the HIV 1's Group 0 & N as well? Cause those HIV-1's Group 0 & N are from Africa. Hope anyone can reply my post.
