Hello Dr. I had an exposure on 2nd dec 2018. After that in one week I had an elisa test on 8 days which turns negative then I had an pro viral dna test on 10 days which came not detected, then I took elisa test from apollo on 18th day and its negative and and again I took elisa test on day 22 which was negative. Again I had elisa TEST on 27th day and its negative from apollo. After that I took HIV DUO COMBO on 29th day from Dr. safe hand and its negative and 33 day I took elisa test and its negative and one more RNA pcr test on 37 day and its not detected. My question could I relax now and stay without relax with my wife or still I need to do test at three month or its conclusive am in depression.

You have unnecessarily took so many times no of tests. Did you have a protected or unprotected sex? What is the HIV status of the partner? If you have good protected exposure even with positive status partner, you need not take any screening test. If not you take ELISA test at week 6, 12 are good enough at the maximum 24 weeks. The specificity for DNA tests are low.

Hello. I am not sure who told you to do all these tests. Through this post I would like to request that please take an expert consultation before you go for all these tests. Labs are happy to do them. Its money for them without seeing the need for it or not. So, please before you all waste your hard earned money do consult experts as to what tests needs to be done and when. Thats very important to know when to do the test and which one. Pl see for your self. Even after so many test result being negative you are still asking for advice. Need I say more? From your test results- you are negative for HIV.

There is one concept of Window period that means if some infective micro organism enter into our body and you test on next day your report comes negative even even micro organism present in your body. Test will come positive after overturn number of day, weeks or months onky every disease and every test have different window period hiv 1 pro viral dna QUALITATIVE test has window period of 17 days that means you have to do this test only after 17 days to get accurate result HIV DUO has 3 month window period RAPID HIV ELISA AND OTHER CARD TEST HAS 6 month window period same way HBsAg, HCV and VDRL has window period of 3 month so you have to do it after 3 month of exposure.
