PCR DNA antigen HIV TEST after 18 days but HIV Fear
Dear Doctor,
I had exposure on Feb 10th 2011 and after a week consulted a doctor he prescribed ceftum 500mg along with other tablets too for urinary track infection. Later i went much anxiety and depression etc.. then i got skin rash, fever, cold, white patches on tongue, sore throat, swollen lump node etc. Later decided to take PCR DNA antigen HIV TEST after 18 days and the result was Negative. I have also done all the STD test which are Non-reactive/negative. In between, i consulted psychiatric doctor for anxiety and depression and he prescribed tablets to reduce my anxiety and to sleep well. But still i feel much fear on HIV. I have completed over 50 days/ 7 weeks. Pl advice me what to do.

I had unprotected sexual encounter with sex worker and incident of condom broken on last FEB 10th 2011. As usual I got all symptoms of HIV after taking tablet prescribed Cefum 500mg and other tablets as well including psychiatric tablets by doctors. It's now over 95 days and i took HIV ELISA test the result came negative but still feeling bloating stomach, fatigue, join pain, skin red rashes.

hi,
PCR DNA antigen HIV TEST is not diagnostic but it can pick up HIV virus before antibody develops. Most of the Doctors saying it's 99.99 percentage secure within the window period.

PCR DNA isn't approved for diagnostic use and the period is too short for a conclusive result even as it were the right one.
