Question 1

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?

Question 2

Hello Doctor, I tested negative on a 45 day HIV combo antigen and antibody test, and also negative on a 67 day HIV antibody test. Is it still possible for the test to turn positive after 90 days? Please advise.

Question 3

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?

What is the 3 generation HIV test?

The 3rd generation test is an ELISA-test
