Sir I have done hiv dna pcr test after 50 days of sex exposure its not detected is it reliable sir please sir.
I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. When used this way, it is called a viral load test. The hiv rna test is deemed to be 100% conclusive if done after 10 to 12 days from the date of exposure. There are some theories that say this test becomes less accurate from about 3 months post exposure. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. HIV spread through Contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative partner. HIV is not spread through saliva.

Good day Mr. lybrate-user. That's a range of tests you have done but have you confirmed the HIV status of your source first? I want you to stay calm and stubborn first and confirm the HIV status of your source, if your source is negative for HIV then you won't be getting infected. As it's been 12 weeks past the probable infection and your recent ELISA is negative for HIV then you are safe and probably not infected. But as per NACO guidelines I suggest you to repeat a simple antibody test after 24 weeks which is final. I wish you all the best and you can contact me if you still need further assistance.

HIV spread through Contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative partner. HIV is not spread through saliva. In the given case, you are clear. Take care.

Mr. lybrate-user, Blood glucose level of 256 mg is very high. It has to be brought down as early as possible with appropriate medication. To be in control fasting should be closer to 100 mg, PP should be 150 to 160 mg mg & HbA1c% <6.8. If this is not done, then you are inviting severe long term complications of diabetes related multiple vital organs. Plus looking at your weight and height it clear that you are obese with a BMI of over 30 kgs/M2. This has to be brought down to 23 kgs/M2. A person with diabetes can eat following fruits like papaya, apple, orange, sweet lime, water melon, guava, pear & pomegranate but only about 100 g a day, that too when blood glucose is well controlled. Thanks.
