Hi there people ,
I have just one question , I needed some advice
I had a risk exposure for hiv trough unprotected sex I’m a female receptive .
Now I did a hiv combo test at 6 weeks( negative)
I have been told is conclusive .
For some reassurance I bought a INSTI RAPID TEST at 13 weeks just to have a extra piece of mind . After all is my health .
Resulted positive. The second dot appeared fainted but was there , then I bought one more and that was negative afterwards .
So then I called my doctor and told him my situation and he draw blood again and sent it to the lab and they did another combo test .
Negative .
So my question is
1 does the negative combo screen overrule my rapid positive one ?
2 should of the doctor sent it for a western blot instead of the combo test ?
3 how confident can I be that it was a false positive and not a real one ?
Please advice .
Should I retest ?
Thank you
