Question : MY REPORT WAS HIV Negative after 90 days through CMIA test with SCO score of 0.13 AFTER AN ENCOUNTER WITH A GIRL WHICH INCLUDED PENIS AND VAGINAL RUBBING. I FELL SICK AFTER 2 WEEKS WITH FEVER AND SORE THROAT BUT WAS DIAGNOSED AS DENGUE FEVER. SO I GOT WORRIED
PLEASE TELL ME WHETHER PRIVATE LABS IN XXXXXXX CONDUCTING THIS TEST ARE RELIABLE OR SHOULD I GET TESTED ONLY AT A GOVT LAB. SINCE I GOT MY RESULT AT A PRIVATE LAB CAN I CONSIDER THIS ACCURATE . I HAVE GOTTEN TESTED AT 2 DIFFERENT PRIVATE LABS IN XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
The private labs in XXXXXXX doing CMIA test are reliable and accurate.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

You had sexual encounter and get tested after 90 days through CMIA test then it is highly reliable and accurate because the window period for HIV is also from 15 days to 3 months so no need to be worried about HIV.

The private labs in XXXXXXX doing this test are reliable and accurate, you can consider this result. If you want to get tested at Government lab than you can also go for it for your mental satisfaction. Avoid excessive stress or tension as you are absolutely free from HIV. Be relaxed and move ahead in life.

Thank You
