Hello Ill keep this brief:
My exposure was a condom break with a csw in singapore. PEP started withing 18 hours and followed correctly.
Tests: Duo 18 days post exposure, Duo 1 days post PEP, Multiplex 10 days post PEP, Rapid HIV 1&2 home test by CS innovations singapore at 3 and 5 months post PEP! I carried out 2 rapid tests on both occasions so 4 in total to be sure! (Used the lancet to prick my finger, added 2 drops of blood to the well and the required ammount of solution... the only line present was the control line) All negative!!!!!.
No I now the home tests arent approved for home use here however the test I used is on the USAID approved list for field use and Im confident I carried out the test correctly. Would you be confident with these tests I am HIV negative from these incidents. The reason I have a slight doubt is I seem to have recently caught what seems to be Scabies and I had a swollen lymph node by my ear for a few months which seems to have gone. With regard to the Scabies I have been to some festivals and staying in a lot of hotels/hostels recently!
Any closure on the matter would be much appreciated. I do intend to go get an NHS test when I return to the uk in a few weeks but Id really like your thoughts.
Regards
Dunc
