Reactive in screening test for hiv
hello guyz! just wanna share my problem and hopefully can get a satisfied answers from you guyz.. i was tested for an screening test for hiv and it was found reactive..im kinda confused coz i never did anal or vaginal sexand never taking drugs through inject before but only oral sex i did and i was the receiver and i did not perform oral sex. Now, actually i have fungi that i brought for many years but now it doesn't really itchy..i never take any antibiotic and only ointment. My question, do you think it was my fungi problem detected in my blood and that caused of reactive result? do i have virus for fungi in my blood? now, i am waiting for my confimatory result. Please guyz help me. you can email me at ***@****
If that's your only exposure within the past few months than I have no idea. Question: Was there any blood exposure from your partner?
i don't know. The only thing i knew is i did not sex through anal and vagina 100%. only oral sex i have been experienced and mostly i am the receiver (somene giving blowjob on me). I am really worried now if i am at risk for hiv, now that my first screening was reactive. huhuhu!
I'm very confused now and there's something wrong with your story.
If you had the test in the lab and if the test was reactive, then your doctor or staff had to do confirmatory tests to determine whether you are positive or not. At this stage you should already know if this was the case? What did your doctor said about the test results?
Each test is reactive to a certain level and you should not be confused with figures like 0.23 etc. since those small values are result of reactivity produced under laboratory conditions.

the doctor just told me that my result was reactive and they proceed me to a confirmatory test. Thats it! Do you have any idea what is the cause of reactive in my first screening test?
