TESTING

[UNCTAR3]

Hello Everyone. I had Anal and oral sex with sex worker approximately 7.5 years ago about 3-4 times. I received anal for maybe 1 minute (protected I think) and I gave semen oral. My question, now that we are 7.5 afterwards, what HIV test should I take? 3rd, 4th ELISA? Also, another question for everyone, I have a lot of pain under my jaw and in my throat. I also have white tongue, maybe hair lukoplekia, but I am not sure. I also have diarrhea for years. Thanks everyone.

I heard that herpes makes you more susceptible to AIDS if you gave oral?

[Vance2335]

Why would it change?

[UNCTAR3]

Vance,\
Would your opinion change if I had herpes at the time?

Not for you

[UNCTAR3]

Thanks a lot kind sir. If you don't mind me asking, what are your thoughts on PCR testing? PCR DNA? Are they worthwhile?

[Vance2335]

$th does have antigens but also antibody, so either is fine.

[UNCTAR3]

Thanks for such a prompt response. Would a 3rd generation be better? Doesn't 4th have antigen? Don't antigens form early?

Any antibody test
