Hello guys. After unprotected insertive vaginal sex I took some HIV DUO VIDAS ULTRA assay tests (not available in the US), these tests differentiate antigens and antibodies in different signals.
1st month results:
Index of antibody: 0.02
Index of p24 antigen: 0.01
Threshold and interpretation of result:
Index i interpretation
i0.25 Reactive for Antigen (P24) Or Antibody
2nd month follow up:
Index of antibody: 0.02
Index of p24 antigen: 0.02
Threshold and interpretation of result:
Index i interpretation
i0.25 Reactive for Antigen (P24) Or Antibody
3rd month follow up:
Index of antibody: 0.05
Index of p24 antigen: 0.02
Threshold and interpretation of result:
Index i interpretation
i0.25 Reactive for Antigen (P24) Or Antibody
5th month follow up:
Index of antibody: 0.04
Index of p24 antigen: ND -NOT DETERMINABLE-
Threshold and interpretation of result:
Index i interpretation
i0.25 Reactive for Antigen (P24) Or Antibody
COMMENT:
The kit simultaneously detects:
i)HIV-1 antibodies (lgG & lgM class of sub-type O & gp41) and HIV-2 antibodies (lgG class of gp36)
ii) P24 antigen
*The test aims to reduce the window period and picks the patient in very early stage.
Note: High Antibody level may mask the antigen result and vice versa. The test value is not displayed for the masked result and the message ND - NOT DETERMINABLE appears in the result.
I was moving on my life because of the 3 first negatives results but when the 5 months results came out, the HIV anxiety freaked me out again.
As it's said above and as my understanding, a NOT DETERMINABLE results means that the component (antibody or antigen) is very high reactive. Please, I don't believe it, this means that I'm HIV+, why didn't I came out positive before? Delayed seroconversion?
It makes a little sense because I've had symptoms (fever, recurring yeast infections in my mouth, etc...)
Please, Does someone know about this assay? I wish it could be an error.
Thank you all. Happy holidays.
