HIV testing 3 months after PEP

[oda123]

Hello

I had a high risk exposure back in February(unprotected vaginal). I received PEP and took it for one month strictly(although a norvir tablet was left outside where its gelatin cover went mushy but nothing came out - i took it)

I have had two 4th generation DUO tests(ag/ab) which both came back negative 2 weeks post-PEP and 3 months post-PEP.

The CDC recommends to re-test at 6 months which i plan to do but i would like to know whether

I have experienced no side effects of PEP but i have been recently been having some symptoms that may be related to HIV

-Chills
-Fatigue
-Low-grade Fever
-Sore throat
-Rash(flat red dots)

I went to the doctor and she prescribed Augmentin for me which made me feel better(again another piece of evidence that I may not be infected by HIV)

1) the 6-month mark is suggested only as a precautionary measure?

2) are there any documented cases of people testing negative at 3 months post-PEP only then to turn positive 6 months post-PEP?

3)Is my 3 months post-PEP conclusive?

Thank you for your time and hard work

No, it doesn't. You don't have HIV.

I am wondering whether infection of hcv DELAY hiv diagnosis

I am sorry if I was misunderstood

This forum is HIV specific. You do not have an HIV concern. No need to post here anymore, your questions were addressed.

I am sorry if I am bothering you all again

I am waiting for my results which include HCV testing.
My questions are

Since I had only one exposure is there a high chance I contracted both hcv and hiv?

If I happen to contract hcv would that mean the negative result I received is not conclusive?

Does coinfection with hiv of hcv delay the testing window period?

Thank you for all your comments

All of them. They all equal 3 months. 12 weeks is 84 days, 90 days is 3 months for the most part and well 3 months is 3 months. Pick one and go with it. All are fine.

[oda123]

[Vance2335]

Yes

[oda123]

-12 weeks

I am confused : /

[oda123]

Thank you for your input

These past few months have been very stressful

One last question

-There is basically no chance at all of late sero-conversion am I correct?

3 months post the last dose is conclusive, 6 months were the old guidelines.

3 months post nPEP is conclusive
