I tested at 120 days post exposure. With RNA PCR test Quantitative -target not detected. Also at 100 and 120 days post exposure With CMIA fourth generation test - non reactive. My questions are- Qualitative tells yes and no and quantitative tells amount. Then which test is better Hiv RNA Qualitative or Hiv RNA Quantitative. 2- is there any difference in their testing accuracy. 3- While going through test information of Hiv RNA it is mentioned on various. Sites that RNA Quantitative is to monitor hiv progression and hiv RNA Qualitative for diagnosis is it true that hiv RNA can't diagnose acute hiv infection. Please give honest opinion.

You are negative for HIV. There is no difference in testing accuracy. HIV RNA appears in the blood after some time. You relax and carry on with life, as you are negative and don't feel perturbed by unnecessary and baseless thoughts. Best wishes.
