You are HIV non reactive person...

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Thank you for posting your query to HCM.

I read and understand your concern, I am Dr Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist answering your concern.

Any antibody test (Tri dot assay) can be conclusive after 3 month of period. As you have tested two times after exposure from 2013 to 2015, you can count your self as HIV non reactive person.

There is no need to test you further

Thank you
Dr Arun Tank
