by philguy26, Sep 03, 2015
Hi team, now as I look at my test result it confuses me if it is a rapid test kit or actually a run through machine test type of thing. Im sorry because this is all new to me. The result goes like this.
Patient's Absorbance: 0.230
Mean Negative Absorbance: 0.100
Cut-off Value : 1.000
Result: NONE REACTIVE
Reference Intervals: NONE REACTIVE
Remarks: Screening Kit Used: HIV Ag/Ab Combo (ARCHITECT)
With this information could you posibly tell what kind of test did I actually get?
That is the test result for my 42 days or 6 weeks post exposure, because I had previous test at 23 days and it came NR with 0.110 absorbance and 0.110 mean negative absorbance.
I would appreciate your answer. Thank you.
Hi guys, I got hiv antibody test after 13 weeks and 6 days and it was none reactive.
Being you are past 3 months ( 90 days ), take a 3rd generation antibody test for a conclusive result.
This includes rapid tests as well.
With your prior testing I'd expect a negative result.

What do you mean " limited the potential "?
BTW im on my 3 months plus now i think 103 days now.

Thought unprotected anal sex is a high risk activity, your 3-5 second exposure limited the potential.
Still test one more time at 3 months post exposure to satisfy cdc guidelines.
A negative result at 42 days is more likely to remain negative. If you can't wait that long test at 8 weeks and that will be very near conclusive.

Anal sex and im the insertive(top)
It's protected sex to begin with but upon entering the condom broke so we stop. I was exposed for only some few seconds maybe 3-5 seconds.

Let us say 95% im negative?
Thank you.

The ab/ag test you took is a 4th generation test that not only looks for HIV ABs but a p24 antigen that peaks at 28 days then drops off as ABs are rising.
42 days is not an optimal time for an antigen detection but most will have a positive AB reaction if infected.
Your values are well below a positive/ reactive reading.
Be encouraged with these results.
A 3 month test is required to meet cdc guidelines.
What was your exposure?

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
