Brief Answer:
No need for any further test.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
You had exposure in August 2014 and HIV Ag/Ab combo test is negative after nearly 2 years then it is 100% conclusive because the window period for HIV also varies from 15 days to 3 months so calm down, forget about the episode and move ahead in life. No need to go for any further test for HIV. For any further query feel free to ask me any time.
Thank You

I underwent a master health check up on august 2016 they check the report and said everything is ok but my creatinine level is elevated 1.4 but serum urea remains normal 19 and the reference value is in the range of 0.3 to 1.3 they said nothing to worry drink more water is enough no need for medication but after 10 days i again tested at a lab it goes 1.7 and urea remains 17 so underwent treatment the doctor prescribed nefrozon , neubon and esomac 40 whether this medication will affect the accuracy of my hiv combo test when i took the test for hiv i also took creatinine test in the same lab it remain elevated 1.4 but my hiv duo test remains non reactive 0.08

Brief Answer:
Sub-type C is most common in XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM once again.
The most common strain of HIV in XXXXXXX is C and HIV 2 is very uncommon in XXXXXXX If you tested with HIV Ab/Ag then it will detect HIV 1. If you are negative after 26 months of exposure then there is no possibility of window period even with any of medication or other condition so allay the fear or anxiety of HIV.
Herpes sores and chapped lips both are two different conditions and I don't think if you are infected with herpes but still to relieve the stress or tension you can go for herpes testing and the result will surely come in your favor. Be relaxed, forget about the episode and move ahead in life happily with your family.

Herpes Igg test is also reliable and it is routine protocol of laboratory to mention about reference interval.
P24 antigen is also detectable any time after infection and it will not decrease once antibody production started so just calm down, forget about the episode and move ahead in life happily.

Brief Answer:
Any value below one is considered negative.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
I have seen all the reports so you need not to doubt on the accuracy of test result as any value below 1 for HIV testing is considered non-reactive. Despite any symptom also the result is ddefinitely accurate after window period so don't get feared or anxious.
There is no any peculiar feature of rash associated with HIV but the details you had mentioned is most likely pointing towards allergic rash. Consult your physician to isolate the cause for pre-determined immune deficiency and follow expert treatment.
There is no such causes for late sero-conversion it is just the concept of testing after 12 weeks which is required if patient is on PEP or chemotherapy so calm down, forget about the exposure and move on in life. For any help feel free to ask me again.

Brief Answer:
The best solution is to get tested.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome back once again.
Pre-existing immune deficiency will affect antibody production that is why testing after 12 weeks also required in such cases and to diagnose deficiency you have to for blood tests as per doctor advice.
There is no such difference between allergic or HIV rash so the best way to confirm is HIV testing after any exposure otherwise dermatologist will diagnos whether it is allergic or other skin conditions. If still you have any doubt feel free to ask me again.

I said no they said then you need not go for testing rna it is only for the people who have positive antibody screening then only suggest hiv rna test to check viral load and drug assessments you need not to waste your money . They said better you go for western blot or otherwise take an antibody test after 3 months i said it already more than 2 years they said then you don't need to worry i have certain question to ask
1)Whether if i have low copies of viral load for example if 10 then our body will produce detectable amount of antibody after two years of possible exposure or not
2) they suggest me to go for western blot whether western blot is reliable and it completely give a picture to relieve my stress

Welcome back once again.
It is not possible that if you have low copies of viral load then your body will produce antibodies after 2 years of infection and not only western blot but the antibody test what you have done also gives same accuracy and reliablity after 3months as truely said by laboratory people. You are taking unnecessary tension or stress because you are absolutely safe and risk free from HIV so be relaxed and move on.

Dear XXXX,
Welcome back once again.
It is not possible that if you have low copies of viral load then your body will produce antibodies after 2 years of infection and not only western blot but the antibody test what you have done also gives same accuracy and reliablity after 3months as truely said by laboratory people. You are taking unnecessary tension or stress because you are absolutely safe and risk free from HIV so be relaxed and move on.
Thank You

Once you get infected then virus will be detectable for entire life and after starting ART also antibody will be there in your blood so it is not possible that you will get false negative result after 2years. Calm down, forget the episode and move ahead in life.
