Am i safe for HIV?
Good evening everyone. Sorry for the broken english. 74 days ago, I had unprotected vaginal sex with a sex worker. 32 days after the exposure, I got a megative result with a double test result from the device called siemens advia centaur xp. 46 days later, I got a negative result from the same device. 48 days after exposure, I applied to another institution to have Vdrl-rpr checked. My HIV result was negative but although I was protected from hepatitis B virus, it was borderline positive. I have read that this can happen in HIV + individuals. After 59 days, I tested with a cobas brand device in another institution and got an HIV negative result and I got a negative result from HBW-DNA. I could not overcome anxiety, and 73 days later in another institution, my hepatitis and HIV result was perfectly negative. I don't know the device, probably the 4th generation was not mentioned at the end, it was just writing anti-hiv. I would be happy if you share your knowledge and experience with me.
Hello. Your question was fully answered by our members. They answered you that you had zero risk and obviously, your negative tests are therefore, accurate and conclusive.

The Siemens test is 4th gen so you were conclusively neg with the first one and have overtested. Move on back to your happy life.

Thank you so much AnxiousNoMore. I think this has been a great lesson for me. I will not be able to forget it all my life.
You can't get hiv when you use a condom, therefore all of your tests were a waste of time. Move on because you did the right thing wearing a condom and the sex worker knows that so that is why she let you have protected vaginal.

Sorry I might have spelled it wrong, there was no condom.
I meant I am immune to hepatitis B.
Actually I am the sorry one. You had unprotected so I was wrong. A 4th gen test is conclusive after 4 weeks so if any of your tests involved that you are safe. After 84 any test is conclusive.
I could not understand you, do not you take another test in 84? You say that my tests are sufficient. I was tested with the 4th generation device on days 32,46,48,59,73.
You do not need ANY more tests. Your tests are conclusive. You do not have HIV.
You think I am safe even if they haven't activated the antigen kit.
