Hi Doctor,
I and very much worried and tensed. I had sex with a CSW in Delhi, India on 12th April,15. I used condom but it broke in the event and i took out my penis (duration might be 3-5 secs). I changed my condom and continued. Totally i did sex times with her.
On 14th April, i consulted a Doc and he advised PEP as the status of CSW was unknown. He advised Viraday to me and did a complete blood, urine test for me. He even did all possible HIV test including PCR RNA using cobas taqman method. He again called me on 16th to come for a Torch panel test. Herpes was negative, However i had IGG values as high for cmv,toxomoplasma,and rubella (result showed like x>value as immune... was confused with my result) He suggested i have it from before and not from this exposure. On 17th my results came for PCR RNA and was non reactive (detection till 20 ) and he told me that i can stop pep and told me to continue till 20th April (7 days) and gave me other medicines and told that i dont need to continue PEP.. He gave me Zovirax and Greatum 500 which i continued from 24th April to 11th May, 2 tablets a day.
My doctor was not available on 11th May(4 weeks+) so i went for self test for HIV duo + p24 antigen from Dr Lal Path Labs, New Delhi (a reputed test center) which came as non reactive. I called him to say that but he told that it is of no use and told me that i may be at risk and need to do my test only from him. my duo results were 0.09 and he told me that it can be because of some positive but as i have read that below the mark (<1) is considered negative. please correct me if i am wrong.
I again went for a HIV duo test post 6 weeks exposure and post 5 weeks PEP and post 2 weeks of zovirax and greatum and it came as non reactive and the value was 0.11. How reliable are my results?
Can my medicines or PEP effect this result?
I am a heavy smoker and i even smoke marijuana and drink sometimes, can it delay anything?
If suppose i have had HCV with this exposure, can it be delayed, however i am vaccinated for HEP B, what are the chances and can it be delayed because of this?
I have stopped visiting my doctor because of the varied opinions.
