HIV Negative Status from Zack Medical Center

[rammy087]

Hi,

I had posted earlier about a potential exposure earlier and had received answers to me query. But I was worried because I have my government visa examination coming up.

Ok, so about myself, I live and work in Oman, on the 15th of July, 2012. I had protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex from a CSW in Oman. I took two 4th generation tests (27 days & 20 weeks from incident ---- both negative results) both from Zack Medical Center, Dubai.

My question is, Has anyone taken a HIV test at this particular clinic and has anything changed during the government process.

I am even considering taking a third test in Oman, albeit a risk factor is involved.

Thanks NurseGirl,

Yeah, I have learned like a massive amount of stuff about HIV. Thanks to my maniac like surfing on the web, talking to experts, this great forum and all the doctors I caught up with.

My last Doctor was kinda surprised by all the questions that a layman was asking him :)

And may I add that HIV anxiety also stems from half cooked theories that some people, so gladly spread on the Internet. I think I did my part on spreading awareness towards this disease....

Thanks a lot to everyone, just a note I wanted to add to anyone who is reading this post. Get into a steady relationship, before you get intimate....... you may not get HIV, but the anxiety leading upto your final results is not worth it.....

Correct. It will ruin your life for the anxiety.  Everything you will notice in your alef it will comes into your mind that you have it....

A big thank you to all the moderators in this forum. My head just couldnt get over the fact that I had tested in Dubai.

I recently got my 33 weeks post exposure result (HIV Duo - CMIA) for an entire STD panel + HIV from a renowned lab in India, everything Negative.... (It really sounds silly now to me as this is my third HIV test and 1st STD panel all together)

I guess I just had to complete the circle of every HIV paranoid person, considering the magnanimity of this disease and the paranoia of the human mind.

Thanks for those comments back then... It was appropriate and timely... All I wanted to know was whether anyone had actually tested at this particular clinic.... I know there are tonnes of people in the Middle East, who find it very difficult to get a confidential HIV test done, due to Government norms on the same.

Zack Medical Center happens to be the only clinic that freely advertises their services.

Go back and reread the replies that were given to you back in December.

And if I may add, my condom tore but cant really fix up my mind on the fact whether it tore during the sex or when i received masturbation from the CSW.
