Respected doctors, I was exposed to hiv 44 days back. I took two pills of truvada (day 2 and day 3) and left. I did PCR RNA test and HIV duo test on 15th day which came negative. As I took two pills of truvada I thought there would be some delay for virus to show up in blood so I was not convinced with 15th day test results. On 28th day I did western blot test which came out negative. On 30th day I developed very bad sore throat, mouth ulcers and red dots on arms and shoulder, nausea and giddiness. On 37th day I gave for PCR DNA test which came out negative. Now my parents are cooperating for HIV duo test after 42 days (6 weeks. I am planning to take test after 2 months only. Am I having hiv? Is there a possibility of having a positive result after having two pcr ,1 hiv duo and western blot test negative?

If all HIV tests negative, nothing to worry about HIV. But, pl. Also get tested for Hepatitis-B. Take Hep-B vaccine. You did wrong by not taking Truvada for longer duration. But anyways, forget it now. If you are getting unnecessarily tested its madness and called psychiatric disorder termed as HIV-Phobia or Venerophobia. You do not need testing, but you need Consultation and sittings of counseling.
