Question

I've been dealing with open wounds for a few days now, and they just won't heal. There's still pus coming out even though I've been using antiseptic cream and bandaging them. On top of that, I'm feeling super tired and restless all the time. Do you have any idea what's going on or what else I should try? I'm getting really worried about this.

Question

I've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?

Question

I've been trying to understand the difference between the HIV RNA quantitative and qualitative tests. If I got a quantitative test done after six weeks, would it be a detection test, or is it more for measuring the amount of the virus if it's already detected? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarification.

Question

I recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 10 days?
