INDETERMINATE NEGATIVE result
Hi,
I had unprotected sex with this married 'girl', four times. I ejaculated inside. The next morning, she told me that her husband blames her that she is HIV infected which is why they have no good relation. Later, I knew from other source that this married girl makes many boy friends. I am sure, she has sexual relation with all those guys. I regretted lot.
After 3 months, sexual intercourse with her, I tested my blood. The Western Blod Test result was NEGATIVE (INDETERMINATE). It has mentioned, 'viral specific bands present but pattern does not meet the criteria for POSITIVE'. Later after 4 months, I again did ELISA test, it came NEGATIVE.
According to different websites, the result during WINDOW PERIOD will be NEGATIVE even some one is infected. So, I am worried. In addition, my WB test result is INDETERMINATE and at this moment, I am suffering from 'block-nose', regular farts (gas from back), joint pains, confusion and short time memory lost, sleeping disorder. I also have lost my weight.
Please help me to make me clear. Thank you all.

"According to different websites, the result during WINDOW PERIOD will be NEGATIVE even some one is infected"
This depends on the type of test and when its taken.
Surprised you had a WB without any prior test. This test is used to confirm a prior test not first diagnoses. ?
Anyway, current HIV tests are "very" sensitive at detecting antibodies or antigen if an antigen were taken.
I believe you are negative because any antibody test is conclusive at 12 weeks.
Personally I know I'd test again because the anxiety level is high.
Follow the above advice or opt for a 4th generation test.

He didn't make me clear. He just ask me to visit him after a month for re-test. So, I changed the Doctor. I went for ELISA test again on 27/April/2016 (last exposure 08th/December/2015); the result was, NEGATIVE again. But, since, as read in internet, the result will be NEGATIVE during WINDOW PERIOD even some is infected; I am worried and not sure about my test result.
In your original post you said you tested negative at 4 months and your last post you said you tested again and it was negative.
95% will test positive by 6 weeks. This is during the window period of CDCs 12 week window.
You did have a risk being you penetrated an hiv positive woman 4 times. Hiv infection, female to male is still not easily transmitted.
You tested negative twice outside the window period.
If she infected you, you should have been positive on your last two tests.
I'm not a Dr so all I can say is follow their direction.
In my opinion your last two tests proves you are HIV negative.

If you had an indeterminate test. Go for a pcr test which detects the virus. And do update your results here.
