Help me read my HIV report
I got myself tested to make sure I dont have HIV 15 days after potential exposure. The test name on website of the lab was "Anti HIV - 1 & 2". I didnt go to a doctor since I had to explain everything which I dont want.
The report came with non reactive result. The test name complete on report is "Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV 1 & 2 By ELISA)" and also it says Abbot Architect - Combo test (p24 & HIV - 1 & 2 Antbodies) at the bottom.
Can you please tell me if this is 4th Generation combo test which is very quick? Should the test give value of P24 too as it gave only one value of 0.16 which is very less than 1.00 which is value required to be positive god forbid. I need to be 100% sure I dont have any HIV. Should I get tested again after total 5 weeks of exposure as I read that this is the best time to get checked and then at 90 days post exposure?
Please helped me as I dont want to go to a doctor.

No risk=no ARS=no disease.
You didn't accept the advice before, so it is unlikely that you will accept the test but to answer your last question, yes see a doctor because you are wasting your time trying to work up an HIV theory so that is a lot of mental pain for NO REASON. Hopefully you will accept the doc's advice and get back to a normal life.
