Question:

 

I tested 3 weeks after low risk encounter. I did not check the condom though and now am stressed out. The test came back negative for p24 antigen and antibodies. I am now at the 6 weeks mark and have experienced no symptoms such as fever, rash, etc. TOday i noticed a discoloration on the inside of my upper lip, a purple patch, but i hope this is due to chewing tabbacco which i officially quit today! 
 i plan on taking a duo test tomorrow.
Question: at 3 weeks, should antigens be detectable? And if not, shouldnt antibodies be detectable?

Question:

 

Sir, I am a man from HK. I had a protected sex with a sex worker. After 86 days of this incident, I did a sd bioline test in one of the voluntary testing centre in HK. Then 5 years later, within this period I did not do any high risk event, I did another rapid test (dont know the brand name) in another voluntary testing centre. Both come out negative. 
 
Is this result conclusive? For your advice, should I go to do a traditional blood test(Elisa) in LAB in order to get a more reliable result? Thanks

Question:

 

Hi Everybody,

Three months before I had make sexual contact with a CSW in Asia. I rubbed my penis for a few minutes (1-2) to her stomach area with out condom. And then after that I put the condom on and the brief insertion was occurred just between 1or 2 minutes. But I don't think there was full insertion, I was not feeling anything due to condom. I also touched surface of vagina (very briefly) too by my finger. I could not stay up to ejaculation due to hesitation and terminated after that. When I took out condom, I just checked it briefly with filling  little bit air inside. There was no any visible breakage. But not sure about the tiny leakages

Is there any way to contract HIV from this episode. what about the possibility of having micro tear or unnoticeable holes in condom??

I was very anxious at that time. After this incident, may be 14 or 15 days later I felt unwell for 4-5 days. I was feeling that I am having fever but when I checked it was very normal. I was very tired too in that moment. I also developed around 10-12 small red dots (slightly raised) to both shoulder region and some flat red dots (4-5) with pus in chest area. The small 10-12 dots in the shoulder region was cleared after 12 to 15 days. I can notice now very light  and small scar left from that 10-12 small dots to my shoulder region (not all but 4-5 light scar). I also coughed some time little bit phlegm for 4-5 days and went way that cough after taking cough syrup.

Please give me the valuable suggestions about that I may have HIV. Do I need to be tested in this scenario?

Sincerely,

Jans

Hi i am suffering with inflamatory bowel disease which i feel is affecteing my immune system. I tested negative for HIV at 14 weeks however i read that 80% of the immnue response is in the gut. I am also on medication for my condition and nothing seems to help. I am worried that because of my condition that my HIV result is not conclusive. Futhermore as no medication is helping i am convinced that i may have HIV. Please tell me what you think about my result and wheather or not it may be conclusive. Thank you
