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.

I tested myself for HIV 50 days after exposure using a CMIA Duo test, and the result came back non reactive. Can I consider this result conclusive?

I had unprotected sex with a sex worker. After 28 days, I took an HIV RNA PCR test, which came back as not detected. However, after 80 days, I took a Western blot test, and the result was positive.

I had unprotected sex with a sex worker. My HIV RNA PCR test at 28 days was not detected, my HIV antibody test at 86 days was non reactive, and my CD4 count at 87 days is 503 cells per microL, with CD8 count 685 cells per microL. Could you please help me understand if these results confirm that I am HIV negative, or if I should take any further tests or precautions?
