1. No this is not possible.
2. Globally, tests for HIV are amongst the most reliable tests available. If you were tested at a reputable institution by a reputable health care provider, you should believe the results. Particularly with the repeat testing you describe.
3. Yes it would.
Your anxiety and guilt are leading you to dream up scenarios that make no biological sense. You need to stop worrying about HIV - you did not get it from the events you described. EWH
No bad dreams suggest guilt and anxiety but in no way suggest that you have been infected with HIV or any other STD. EWH
I'll go directly to your questions after pointing out that if you had sex you would likely remember it and, furthermore, why would a commercial sex worker have sex with an unconscious person . Sex is her job, not her idea of a good time.
The DUO tests are conclusive at 4 weeks. Thus your 5.5, 7, an 10 week tests are all conclusive. You did not get HIV from the exposure you described. whether you acquired some other non-STD illness in the course of your travels or whether this is just anxiety an guilt I cannot say but I can tell you that you did not get HIV from the events you describe. HIV is not a worry. EWH
Thank you and best wishes.
Thank you, hopefully this information takes hold. This will be my last round of worrying about unlikely but perhaps even remotely possible scenarios. 1) Could it, theoretically, be possible for someone to briefly be infected with or carry the virus, pass it on to someone else, but be undetectable by the time they have a test? I am thinking in particular about those with homo or heterzygous Delta-32 cell mutations, in relation to the symptoms my girlfriend came down with. 2) Would you have any doubts about tests performed in Latin America versus fully modernized countries? 3) Would the Duo test detect all strains of hiv found in Latin America?
Thank you and apologies in advance for the persistent questioning, this will be it for me.
Dear Doctor, unfortunately bad dreams continue. The latest dream is that the regular test is negative, but I take another specialized test that shows results for mutative hiv. I understand you are not the psychologist I may be in need of, but have you seen similar dreams signify a physical correspondence, or would you consider it purely psychological/symbolical? In other words, would this change your opinion on my case?
Thank you Doctor. To clarify, I was awake the whole time, and doing God knows what is the question. This said, the conclusive tests are what matters here. I will move on.
