Un protected anal sex ------ worried

[mohaharbi]

Dear Doctor,
My name is Mohamed, I had unprotected anal  sex with a women whom I didn’t knew her status on the 24th January 2014. On the 26th January I visited Hospital and was tested  Elisa and P24 and all was Negative and I was advised to take PEP……. But I stop the PEP only after taking days ( 1 tab each day ) due to the side effect. I tried to test the lady but she assured me that she was 100% clean.
Three weeks later I tested for  P24 and was NEGATIVE,  I started having general weakness, loss of appetite,  fever and neck and groins pain and I again visited Hospital and Malaria was found in my blood and put on injections and tabs….. The fever and the pains has slightly went down.
Six weeks post exposure I visited HIV specialist and he did physical assessment on my mouth and body – before sending for test he told me that I don’t have HIV, I tested  PCR and HIV Proviral, DOU test and ELISA DNA from two major reliable labs ( Nairobi Hospital, MEDANTA and Metropolis ) and all come back NEGATIVE. I also did general Blood Picture which was normal as my Dr told me.
The doctor told me that I have psychological problem and he sent to phsycatricst  who gave me depression tabs… I now feel better but sometimes mild fever and pain on the neck lymph nodes and groins.
So I am still worried and don’t know what will happen as all the doctors told me no need to do another test and  completely forget about it.

Please advice me?

Thanks,
Mohamed

We go by the FDA and manufacture standards on tests. The antibody test is currently approved for 3 month diagnosis. We stand by that and will not advise you different.

Vance,

Thank you.

I know 3 month is conculusive and i will for it. But multiple reliable doctors in Nairobi told me this conclusive thus no need for another test and i can have unprotected sex with my wife.

They said 6 week post exposure either the PCR, Elisa or DOU  could have shown positive by now.....

Does this sound reasoning...... of course i will do the 3 month to relief myself.

Thank you in advance

Good indication but 3 months is conclusive

Hello Teak,

3 months post your last dose of nPEP and you can obtain your conclusive test result.
