I recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 10 days?

Accepted Answer

For an accurate HIV RNA PCR test result, it's typically recommended to wait at least 10-14 days after potential exposure.

You can clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap, and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol for any discomfort. If the bleeding continues or if you notice signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, please see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about having ejaculations during the night. Is this something normal, or could it signify a health issue? I'm curious if it might lead to any complications in the future.
