After 10 weeks (70 days) of unprotected sex with a sex worker, I took a 4th generation HIV assay test at SRL Lab, and the result was non reactive. How safe am I from HIV after 90 days? Is there any chance that the HIV test could become positive after 90 days? Can the SRL Lab report at 70 days be considered reliable? I have attached the report for reference.

A 4th gen HIV test at 70 days is highly reliable. A test after 90 days is conclusive. You are likely safe.

Hello sir, I have tested with regular blood and urine tests and everything is normal. Can HIV be identified from these test reports? Please suggest what test is required for this.

Hi, my blood test report for HIV shows negative (0.06). What does this decimal number mean? I have taken this test after 72 hours. Should I take it again after a few days?

I had sexual intercourse with a sex worker 25 days ago. Can I take an HIV 1 RNA PCR test now to get an accurate assessment of my HIV status?
