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.

A combo test (4th gen) is conclusive at 28+ days. 0.82 is within non reactive range. No further testing needed if no new exposures. If anxious, repeat HIV Combo Test at 90 days.

I had sexual contact with an HIV positive woman. I took an HIV RNA PCR test 28 days after exposure, and the result was not detected. However, I am experiencing symptoms such as rashes, joint pain, fever, and bumps on my tongue.

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.

I had sexual intercourse with a sex worker 25 days ago. Can I take an HIV 1 RNA PCR test now to get an accurate assessment of my HIV status?
