QUESTION: I had a sex with a prostitute and condom breaks and it contacts for 3-5 seconds .

i feel many symtoms after 3 weeks ( fatigue and tiredness)

after this , Doctor told me you need not to worry b coz this test is effective within 2 weeks after exposure.

I am still tense , Please answer me is this test after 53 ( ~8 weeks) is reliable to me ) as i have low risc exposure ( as contact was of only 2-3 seconds) ????????

Please answer Once ????  


ANSWER: Dear Singh:

Peace.  Note that this service is not meant to replace your relationship with your health professional.  

The results you shared show you are clearly not infected with HIV at the time of the test.  The p24 antigen test would have picked up possible infection early on; at eight weeks this is confirmed by negative antibody.

Peace and good health to you and yours.

Answer
Dear Singh:

Your test results (including the p24 antigen testing) show you are negative for HIV; this does not mean you did not or could not have contracted other illnesses.  Your symptoms should be brought to the attention of your health professional for face-to-face examination, testing, diagnosis, and treatment.  

Sincerely,

Terry
