After potential HIV exposure, I have done multiple HIV tests over 9 months, and all results were negative. My reports for the past three months are as follows 0.2 s/co, 0.2 s/co, and Antibody + p24 antigen test by ECL method is 0.2 s/co. Do I need to undergo any further HIV testing, or are these results conclusive?

Tests are conclusive. You are HIV negative. No further testing is needed unless new exposure occurs.

View allHello Doctor, I had sex with a sex worker 35 days ago. I have had symptoms for the past month, such as nail discoloration, throat dryness for three weeks, cold, constant sneezing, and penis burning sensation. Is it HIV? I tested with an antibody test today, after 5 weeks of exposure, and it was non-reactive. Please advise how accurate the antibody test is after 5 weeks?

I was accidentally injected with a potentially contaminated needle at a clinic. Concerned about HIV risk, I went for an HIV combo test 56 days after the incident at my nearest ICTC centre. The test result was negative. The ICTC staff mentioned that if there is direct exposure to HIV infected blood, it can show in the test after 28 days. I would like a specialist advice regarding: Should I get tested again? Which test is recommended now? Is 56 days sufficient to conclude that I am HIV negative? I have heard that HIV transmitted via sexual contact may take longer to appear in blood tests compared to needle exposure, is this true?
