Hello Dr.,
I recently (3 months ago to be more precise) I had sex with a Nigerian prostitute. I used a condom, but I was quite drunk. Exactly two months later I developed a non itchy rash in both my innerarms, armpits and groin area. I immidiatly whn to the hospital and they tested me for Syphilis and HIV-1 and HIV - 2. Both were negative. Then I made a rapid test at 84 days after exposure and it came also negative. My question to you is:
1 - Can I trust the 3 months period test for all types and subtypes of HIV or some of them may be delayed or not detecte?
2 - In the hopital I used 4th generation test at 67 days after exposure. Does a 4th generation test identifies clearly identifies all subtypes?
Thank you very much for you attention and time
Best Regards
L
