Question : After an high risk unprotected sex with unknown girl in a party sure have multiple partner and I found some white pause discharging from pennies couple of days and stop then. I failed to discuss it with anybody and after a one month nightmare of having HIV one of my friend suggest me to take a test and tested for HIV. I took the following test in Kolkata India Test taken: exactly as written in the test result: Detection of HIV P24 antigen and antibody to HIV type 1 and/or type 2 (architect abott) (CMIA) (Chemiluminescence Microparticle Immuno Assay) Test time: after 34.5 Days of the incident i.e having sex. Test result: Non reactive. I am very tensed after this mistake. Can I stay relax with this result?

Brief Answer: hiv highly unlikely Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome to healthcaremagic. I have read your query and understood your concern. You have already underwent test for hiv including both antigen and antibody assays. That has come out to be non reactive. So it is very unlikely to have hiv infection. So need not to worry and can relax. In case you still feel doubt you may go for repeat test for antibodies after 3 months. It is just for your satisfaction. But I will advise you to not indulge yourself in such high risk activities in future. It can definitely pose you at risk of acquiring sexually transmitted disease. But as of now, you can relax and dont panic. I hope it helps. STay healthy.
