I've been noticing some clear liquid coming out of my nipples when I squeeze them. Is this normal? What could be causing this?

HIV Testing Timeline and Results

Your Test Results

1. 3 months post-exposure: 4th gen HIV rapid test (negative) and HIV antibody test from lab (negative)
2. 5 months post-exposure: HIV 4th gen assay CMIA test p24 AG + antibody (negative)

Interpretation and Conclusion

1. Window period: You've exceeded the standard 3-4 month window period for HIV antibody detection.
2. Fourth-generation tests: You've had two 4th gen tests, which detect both p24 antigen and antibodies, increasing the accuracy of results.
3. Consistent negative results: Both tests at 3 and 5 months post-exposure were negative.

No Further Testing Required

Based on your consistent negative results and the time frame, it's highly likely that you're HIV-negative. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) consider a negative result at 3-6 months post-exposure to be conclusive.

Important Note

While these results are conclusive, it's essential to maintain safe practices to prevent future exposures.
