Worried about HIV

[goldy07]

Myself from india..I had an exposure from sex worker with condom ,during intercourse condom broke, though I did not ejaculate then, I had DNA PCR test and after 28 days and also have tri dot test also, both was non reactive.
after 12 weeks I again did tri dot test, and after 3 months 5 days I did DNA PCR test and Western blot test and CMIA test, all were non reactive..is it conclusive or I have to retest after 6 months ,
I have few question
1) Do DNA PCR test detects all the subtype of HIV 1 in India??
2) I have some mild pain on my muscle  it starts aftr 11 week, can anyone seroconvert after 11 weeks
3) I have some rash also on my back side
4) is it possible that anyone have hiv infection but did not produce enough antibodies for detection in CMIA, tridot and western blot test
5) I am having digestive problem and test for food is not coming, is it due to anxiety or infection present.

Please answer me

after 4 months I did CMIA test.. it is negative....but I am suffering from stomach for last one month, feeling nasuated,no taste in food and the lymph node of my elbow is slightly enlarged. is this the indication of seroconversion??
I recently done blood test for CD4 and CD8 count
CD4 is 525 and CD8 is 360.
my question is that antibodies are detected by 4 months or not??
do I have to retest on 6 months or one year??
Please answer me

And, by the way, you don't need anymore HIV testing....you're conclusively negative.  

[nursegirl6572]

There are no "AIDS" tests.  AIDS is a progression of HIV, some infected people develop it (diagnosed by a deterioration of the immune system, specifically a very low T-cell count) and some infected people never do.  

If you had an exposure and needed testing, you test for HIV.

Somebody is said to be suffering from AIDS when HIV virus stereo converts..,.
So there are various tests that are available to test for HIV virus..
Like the anti - body...It looks for the antibodies that the human bodies produce to fight the HIV virus(so essentially it detects that ur hiv status (AIDS status).
So the anti body test done after 3 months post exposure,is conclusive..your even less medical knowledge then me is making you confused and worried...if you want further help ...messege me your number ...i will keep it confidential...and we can talk and sort it out on phone...dont worry bro...you are fine..

[Vance2335]

Reread what you have already been advised.

[goldy07]

[Vance2335]

If you had a disorder you would know because you would be under Dr care

[goldy07]

ok..thanks....but in some websites I also saw that, some time antibody test takes 6 months to be positive...what is such cases?? immune disorder?? how can I sure that I have a immune disorder or not??

Do not waste your money on PCR (it is far more expensive test than a simple AB test). You were told, your three months CMIA test is conclusive, further supported by WB, you do not have HIV

[goldy07]

hi..please answer my question

[goldy07]

Thanks..Diver..for your answer
but here some doctors and reputed labs are constantly saying DNA PCR is most sensitive test to detect HIV 1 before seroconverson occures..and myself also found that from websites...ya it is not FDA approved...
does it detects all the subtypes
and the other test which I took such as WB, CMIA and Tridot detects all the subtypes or not

[diver58]

1. DNA PCR is not a screening test for HIV
2. No
3. Not related to HIV necessarily
4. No
5. No, not due to HIV
Your antibody tests done after 3 months are conclusive, you do not have HIV. Ignore any symptom if you have a conclusive test report in hand, a blood test rules out any possibility of the infection completely
