I've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?

I'm feeling really anxious because a while back, I had a risky encounter with someone whose HIV status I don't know. It's been 180 days since then, and I did an HIV test on day 179. The test I took was the HIV 1 and 2 p24 CMIA, and the result came back negative with an index value of 0.09. I'm trying to understand more about the window period for HIV testing and whether the CMIA test is as reliable as the ELISA test. Also, does taking the test two days earlier, like on day 179, affect the accuracy at all? I had multiple tests throughout this periodone at three months with an index of 0.07 and another at day 42, which was also negative with the same index value. Can you help me make sense of all this?

Advised elisa hiv test at 6 months and at 1 year.

I've been feeling really off for the past two weeks. My thermometer readings are normal, but Im still experiencing feverish chills and shivers. I did some blood tests like complete blood count, C-reactive protein, and malaria, but everything came back normal. I also had the typhi dot IgM test, and it showed a weak positive. Can you help me understand what a weak positive means in this context? I'm attaching my report for reference.

Need detailed history and evaluation. Need details about your symptoms

I'm feeling really anxious about something that happened yesterday. After work, I got a haircut and ended up with some small razor cuts on my head. This morning, my friend who has HIV and had a wet, moist wound on his palm touched the same area on my head where those cuts are. I'm really concerned about whether there's any risk of contracting HIV from this. Could you help me understand if I should be worried?

no
