HIV RNA TEST QUESTION

I have a question about the hiv rna test. I've been reading that this test should be taken 9-11 days after possible exposure? When would be the best time to take it? On the 9th, 10th or 11th day? Or after that? I just want accurate results. Also I have high blood pressure would this effect my results and not be as accurate and I also took a lot of anxiety medication the day after possible exposure and the day after that would this also effect my results? Please somebody answer I'm worried

You can keep asking the same questions. You will keep getting the same answers. You are imagining things. Even if you did have cuts or blood it is still NO risk. I don't think reassurance is helpful to you because you are not accepting it.

So even if I fingered her and had some cuts which I don't think I had or sucked her breast and she had a cut on them or passed my tongue multiple times through her pimple there is still no risk? I know I sound crazy but I just need reassurance this has just been consuming me for the past 3 days I haven't gotten any peace of mind since then

If you have trouble with your anxiety I recommend seeing a counsellor. You really truthfully have NO HIV concern or risk.

You have not 1, not 2, but 3 "no risks" from 3 different members here. If you'd had the slightest risk, we would have told you.

You have to deal with your anxiety, not the non-existent HIV.

I'm trying it's just really hard.  I have a girlfriend and made such a stupid mistake by doing that and I'm just worried. I probably will take the rna test at 14 days if I can't manage my anxiety

If you're asking for the encounter in the link above, you were answered correctly B23121 and iommi, and you don't have an HIV concern.

I'm just really worried because I was under the influence and what if I bit her while I was sucking on her breasts and she bled? I have a anxiety issues. This is consuming me and I can't focus at school I'm really worried
I'm not saying I did see her bleed but it's just me thinking the worse. And what about the anxiety medication? It won't interfere? I probably won't take any medication anymore

From 12 days onwards it's a great indication, but still not conclusive. It is not a stand alone diagnostic test and must be backed by an antibody test. An antibody test at 12 weeks is conclusive.

Blood pressure won't interfere.

What kind of risk did you have ?
