12 days ago i had sex with a woman where the condom broke. I stopped when i realized after about 4 strokes. I have been having a slight feeling of headache/grogginess when i wake up in the morning for the first hour. Yesterday i went to take a hiv dna test. it will take several days for the results. please tell me my likelihood of infection.
3 classics symtoms---High Fever, Sever Sore Throat, Whole Body rash.
All this symptoms comes together.
Study said PCR DNA has a high False Positive rate, but this test always have to be with antibody test.

I believe that Rainlover71 has left the chat. Can anyone please answer this last question.
sorry. Last question. Do you think that my headache/grogginess every day since the next morning of my exposure could be a early sign? thank you in advance for your honest answer.

Your exposure was not high risk at all,infact I doubt you have become infected.The HIV DNA by PCR is a viral load test to monitor people who already have HIV so that test was virtually useless.The RNA on the other hand would have been are more solid test and more reliable.If I was in your shoes I would take the HIV DUO test at 28 days because it's very accurate at that time frame.
also was my exposure a high risk possibility even though it was a short exposure?
I was told by that the test can detect Hiv infection as little as 7days. This is not true? I just paid $200 dollars for the test at labcorp for a peice of mind for nothing?
you had the wrong PCR test--you should have had the RNA not DNA but it makes no difference because neither is conclusive at 12 days.You have the option of an HIV DUO test at 28 days but as you are probably aware a test at 3 months is fully conclusive--all the best.
