Gosh, Im feeling a bit anxious and really need some clarity. I did an HIV test using Elisa two years after potentially being exposed, and the result was 0.32. Earlier, I also had a rapid antigen test which was non-reactive. Do these results mean Im in the clear, or should I be worried?

Your HIV test results are very reassuring. Here's what they mean:
-
ELISA Test Result of 0.32: This value is below the typical cutoff for a positive result, indicating a negative test.
-
Non-Reactive Rapid Antigen Test: This also suggests no evidence of HIV infection.
Since these tests were done two years after potential exposure, this timing is well beyond the window period when HIV antibodies or antigens would typically be detectable.
What this means for you:
- It is very unlikely that you have HIV based on these results.
- If you have no ongoing risk exposures, routine follow-up testing is generally not needed.
When to consult a doctor:
- If you have symptoms suggestive of HIV or other concerns.
- If you have had any new potential exposures since the last test.
Overall, these results are reassuring, and you should feel confident in them. If you want further peace of mind, discussing with a healthcare provider can help address any remaining questions or concerns.

I'm a bit anxious because I had sex using a condom, but it slipped off during the act. This happened last week, and now I'm really worried about the possibility of getting HIV from my partner. I'm considering seeing a doctor to check if everything's okay. What would you recommend?

I'm a bit worried about my health. I've had a fever for the past three days, and my test results show IgG is negative, IgM is weak positive, and Ns1 antigen is weak positive. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Does this indicate that I might have Dengue? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
Your test results strongly suggest a possible early dengue infection, given the weak positive NS1 antigen and IgM. Early-stage symptoms and lab tests are critical to confirm and monitor the disease progression. Consult your doctor immediately for appropriate care and monitoring.
