Doctor, I have done a proviral DNA test 55 days after exposure. It is negative. Do I need any more tests? Please tell me, as I am going to get married next month.

A negative HIV Proviral DNA test after 55 days is highly reliable, but guidelines recommend an antibody/antigen test at 3 months for confirmation. As you plan marriage, you can do a HIV 4th Generation (Antigen/Antibody) Test now for peace of mind. If negative, no further testing is needed. Always practice safe sex to protect yourself and your partner.

Hi, I am very scared. Please help me. After 80 days of unprotected exposure with a paid partner whose HIV status is unknown, my HIV test report from Dr. Lal Path Lab using the antibody/antigen combo test is 0.82 (non reactive). This value is very close to 1, so I am very stressed that I may still get HIV at the 90th day or after 3 months. Please help me. I am extremely worried.

Hello Doctor, I tested negative on a 45 day HIV combo antigen and antibody test, and also negative on a 67 day HIV antibody test. Is it still possible for the test to turn positive after 90 days? Please advise.
