These results are highly reliable and accurate.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

You had protected vaginal sex and the risk of HIV from oral sex is very less so don't get worried. PCR DNA qualitative and ELISA test of both the partner are also negative after 30 days then these results are considered highly reliable and accurate.

As such there is no risk of HIV in your case and no need to go for repeat test but as per international HIV guidelines you need to get tested again after 3 months to get 100% conclusive result nothing else. Be relaxed, forget the episode and move on in life.

Thank You
