All are negative. But all these rapid test are bought from XXXXXXX . Can i trust this results. Then also went to sexologist in XXXXXXX ( dr dhinesh) and asked for premarital check. He asked about my sexual relationship. I told him about what was happened in massages parlour “”. He mentioned it is not significant risk if you are not involved in intercourse. He did some basic blood test which did not included with any std test. All came back normal. Then i came back to home . I seen lymphocytes is 30% . In the report lymphocytes normal range is 30-50. It was in border line. I feel like hairy/coated tongue in morning( for past 3month may be after noticing it) but after eating some hard food it clear but appear everyday morning.

Thanks for your reply doctor. Can we trust this rapid test done at 6month after the exposure? How much reliable is rapid test?

Last question: Have you ever come across a case where adults contracted HIV through contact with breast milk?
Hi sir,
I have been following your prolific contributions to the field of research, particularly in HIV, spanning four decades. Your wealth of experience is truly commendable.I wanted to talk about something that's been bothering me.

I am writing to express my concerns about the lack of comprehensive sex education in our current educational system. It has come to my attention that many individuals of our generation are not adequately informed about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Prior to a recent incident, I held the misconception that HIV was a rare virus transmitted solely through blood transfusion or unprotected sexual intercourse involving blood contact.

This incident prompted me to delve into the intricacies of the human body, particularly the role of mucous membranes and how viruses can enter our systems. I have since learned about various STDs, the concept of the window period, and the crucial importance of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). It perplexes me why such vital information was not included in my college curriculum, despite pursuing a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

It was only during my final year that I gained some insights into the adult world through candid conversations with friends. This brings me to the crucial question of where the ordinary younger generation can acquire such essential knowledge. I strongly believe there should be a compulsory course during college that covers these topics or, at the very least, a certification program that equips individuals with the necessary information before entering the workforce.

I know you've got a solid reputation in the field, and I'm thinking maybe you could use your influence to push for changes. Education shapes how we see the world, and it sucks to see people dealing with unnecessary fears because they didn't get the right info. Would appreciate your support in making things better.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
