The HIV RNA test is determined to be about 99% conclusive after 28 days from the time of exposure.

Take a Allergy Rhinitis/Asthma/Inhalant Maxi Panel Test or Take a Toxoplasma IgG & IgM Test

Hello Doctor, I had sex with a sex worker 35 days ago. I have had symptoms for the past month, such as nail discoloration, throat dryness for three weeks, cold, constant sneezing, and penis burning sensation. Is it HIV? I tested with an antibody test today, after 5 weeks of exposure, and it was non-reactive. Please advise how accurate the antibody test is after 5 weeks?

I had sexual contact with an HIV positive woman. I took an HIV RNA PCR test 28 days after exposure, and the result was not detected. However, I am experiencing symptoms such as rashes, joint pain, fever, and bumps on my tongue.
