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?

I had protected sex with a commercial sex worker in Malaysia for the first time in my life. Out of fear I underwent PCR DNA test and Tridot test after 35 days. Both results were negative. Please suggest further help? I am suffering from anxiety and depression because of guilt.

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.
