I took a Prega News test and it came out positive. We had sex on 29th June, and after 20 days the test showed positive. What should we do next, and which medicines (if any) need to be taken 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?

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.
