What generation test is this Ab/Ag HIV1/2?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
This antigen/antibody test (4th generation) has the ability to identify HIV earlier than antibody-only tests (2nd and 3rd generation).

Take a Apollo Full Body Checkup Female - Advance Test or Take a Peripheral Smear For Microfilaria ( MF ) Test

View allI had sex with a prostitute 20 days ago, and the condom broke. Yesterday I developed a fever and visited a physician. After taking the prescribed medicine, my fever subsided within a day, but I still have a sore throat. Could this be related to HIV? Can I get an HIV 1 and 2 antibody screening test done and will it be reliable at this stage? Please advise, as I am extremely anxious.

After 10 weeks (70 days) of unprotected sex with a sex worker, I took a 4th generation HIV assay test at SRL Lab, and the result was non reactive. How safe am I from HIV after 90 days? Is there any chance that the HIV test could become positive after 90 days? Can the SRL Lab report at 70 days be considered reliable? I have attached the report for reference.

Hello Doctor, I had sex with a sex worker 35 days ago.
