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).

Sir, I have a doubt regarding HIV testing. If a person tests negative at 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or even 10 years after exposure, but later tests positive, is it true that this depends on the immune system? Does this mean there is no conclusive test for HIV?

I had unprotected sex with an unknown partner 65 days ago. Today, I did an HIV 1 and 2 antibody test, which came back negative. I do not have any symptoms related to HIV, but I have had allergic throat irritation and acne problems for the past year. Am I safe from HIV, and is this test conclusive at this stage?

I went to a pathology lab today to get a blood test. When I went in, the staff already had the injection in her hand. Do clinics use used needles and syringes? Should I be worried about the risk of HIV, especially since it is a small pathology and not a big hospital?
