Hello sir, I have tested with regular blood and urine tests and everything is normal. Can HIV be identified from these test reports? Please suggest what test is required for this.

HIV cannot be diagnosed via regular CBC or urine tests. It needs a specific HIV ELISA or HIV 1 & 2 test. Please take an HIV 1 & 2 Antibody test (ELISA).

Hi, my blood test report for HIV shows negative (0.06). What does this decimal number mean? I have taken this test after 72 hours. Should I take it again after a few days?

I had protected sex with a woman using two condoms at the same time for about 10 minutes. Later, I read online that using two condoms together is not recommended, and I became worried. I took three HIV tests (rapid and ELISA) at around 30 days after the encounter, and all came back negative. Do I need to get tested again, or is it not necessary?

Hello 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?
