I'm really trying to understand what a "TARGET NOT DETECTED" result means from an HIV 1 RNA PCR quantitative test. It's been 7 weeks, and seeing that result has me a bit anxious. Does this mean the virus isn't there at all, or could it be something else?

That says you have no infection

I got a series of 5 rabies shots about a month back, and it was the Abhayrab brand. Recently, I got scratched by a dog again, so I decided to get 3 booster doses instead of the usual 2. I'm really anxious about whether having so many vaccines could cause any serious side effects. Could you please advise? I'm worried and need some guidance.

Nothing to worry. Trust me, it is safe.

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?

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.
