test reliabilty

Hi doctors how are you hope you all are fine...

Like the rest of people i got question and doubt hope i will benefit myself and other people who will read my post too..


I go through unprotected sex with two girls one was anal, i done it with her 6 times i believe and the other one verginal sex whivh last for 2 minute only and one time only...


Two month passed i never think about hiv i was like i dont know it and i was perfectly fine until i read one post in newspaper about it and my anexity + some sympotme  start from there such as stomach immflmation+ lower back pain + joint pain+ nick pain + itchy skin... i read alot about it on the internet and about window period and etc so i deciede finally to test.


84 days > rapid test hiv1/2 abs negative

90 days > rapid test hiv1/2 abs negative

111 days > hiv1/2 ab/ag by eclia (0.224) negative

150 days > hiv1/2 ab/ag by elisa (0.442) negative


to doubt and question part :

1) is my result conclusive and how comfartable should i be

2) why the index value is increasing?(i asked my doc he said different method different value + if you have sort of immflmation in your body and you take medication for it it may affect the index is it true?)

3) any furthure test required?

4) can i go back to my dear forgatten wife by me with no concern even if i have some sypotome as i describe above

5) some docs still ask for 6 month window period why?

6) you as a big specialist how do you deal with people who will tell that we test positive at the forth or fifth or even more month with negative result at 2,3 month??

You have tested negative outside the window period. You do not have HIV.
