View allI've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?

I'm really worried about my recent exposure and I'm not sure about the window period for an HIV test. Can you tell me how long I should wait before getting tested? Also, I'm looking to find an ICTC government center in Bangalore. Could you advise on where I might find one?
The window period for an HIV test is typically up to 12 weeks after exposure, as it takes time for the body to develop antibodies that can be detected by tests like ELISA. In Bangalore, you can find ICTC (Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre) and government centers at various locations. Some options include: - National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Bengaluru Branch: This branch offers HIV testing and counseling services. - Government Hospitals: Many government hospitals in Bangalore have ICTC centers that provide free or low-cost HIV testing and counseling services. - Private Labs: Some private labs, like those listed on the Practo website, offer HIV testing services, including home sample collection.

I'm trying to understand the window period for the HIV 1 and 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test, like the CMIA test. Is it safe to say that getting tested three months after exposure would give me a conclusive result? I've been stressing about it and just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Can you shed some light on this?
The window period for HIV 1 & 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test using CMIA method is typically around 4 weeks to 3 months after exposure. For most individuals, this test is considered conclusive after 3 months post-exposure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and monitoring.
