I'm feeling a bit anxious and was wondering, is getting an HIV test after 75 days considered conclusive? Could you help clear this up for me, doctor?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, an HIV test conducted 75 days after potential exposure is usually conclusive, and if your result is negative, it is a strong indication that you do not have HIV. However, if you are still concerned, it may be a good idea to follow up with your healthcare provider for confirmation and peace of mind.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband. He had a fever and his platelet count was really low, so the doctor first thought he had a viral fever. After some medication, his platelets went up, but when we checked again a week later, they dropped again. They suggested we test for HIV, and we found out that HIV 1 came back reactive, but HIV 2 was non-reactive. They did a rapid ELISA test too. Does this mean he really has HIV? And can we still consider having a baby?
The reactive result for HIV-1 on the rapid ELISA test indicates a positive result for HIV-1 infection. However, the non-reactive result for HIV-2 suggests that HIV-2 infection is not present. It is important to confirm these results with further testing such as Western blot or PCR for HIV-1. Regarding having a baby, it is still possible to have a baby if one partner is HIV positive. With proper medical care and treatment, the risk of transmission of HIV to the baby can be significantly reduced. It is important for both partners to consult with a healthcare provider specializing in HIV care to discuss options such as antiretroviral therapy and other measures to reduce the risk of transmission during conception and pregnancy.

I'm really concerned about how quickly someone with Covid-19 can spread it to others. Like, do they start spreading the virus right after they get infected, or does it take a few days? I'm trying to figure out if there's a period where they aren't contagious. Could you shed some light on this?
they can spread immediately after you getting infected. so quarantine is done

I had a situation a few months ago where I was with a prostitute and the condom broke during sex. The next day, I took her for an HIV test, and thankfully, it came back negative. Since then, I've been really anxious about it even though I've had no symptoms. Can you help me understand what the chances are of something being wrong? I'm trying to calm my nerves but it's tough not knowing.
When she is negative there is almost zero chances of you getting the disease,no need to worry get yourself tested for every 6 months
