Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, Can you explain me based on the tests that were performed that I should be worried or not ? The exposure was HIGH RISK RECECPTIVE ANAL INTERCOURSE. I m looking for explanation on why should or should not I worry ...... 11 days 4th gen ab/ag -ve 33 days oraquick swab -ve 34 days uni-gold recombivan (Finger Prick) -ve 35 days 4th gen ab/ag -ve 40 days RNA TMA (detects 53 home access (2nd generation test which you sent to lab) 57 In India , I think it was CMIA hiv1/2 antibodies, RNA PCR QUALITATIVE AND QUANTATIVE(detects 47 copies) ....and western blot test that checks 10 band or something which was -ve
If the RNA level was detectable that is bad. If it is all negative. While that is good, 11 days post-exposure MIGHT be a little early.
NEARLY ALWAYS even at 11 days negative is negative but at 30 days I'm really not sure it's possible to miss it at 30 days, but I'm not 100% sure about under 2 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
