I had unprotected sex with a sex worker. I took an HIV RNA PCR test after 28 days, and the result was not detected. At 86 days, the HIV antibody test was non reactive, with a CD4 count of 503. At 100 days, the RNA PCR test was not detected, and at 108 days, the antibody test was non reactive.

With RNA PCR and antibody tests all negative beyond 90 days, HIV is ruled out. CD4 count can vary normally. No further testing is needed. Youre safe.

Why do I see a pink horizontal line near the p55, p31, and gp41 regions on my Western blot test, but it does not look like a proper band? My report says no bands were detected and that I am negative. I asked two doctors who are not sexologists, and they said it is nothing to worry about and the pink line might be something else. My previous TriDot test was also negative. The lab said that bands need to be clearly formed to be positive, and in my case, no bands appeared. Can I be sure that these results are accurate? My exposure was 8 years ago, but I still have many symptoms of AIDS.
