My wife is in her third trimester of pregnancy. With our first child she tested negative for HIV. With the current pregnancy she tested negative in the first trimester but in third trimester she has now tested “abnormal” on the ab and negative for antigen on the fourth generation test. The dr said come in for more tests, We are freaking out. We are married 10 years, monogamous, no drug use, etc. I even took a rapid test and an official fourth generation blood test myself right away (both negative) to cancel any doubts.
The dr called to now say the lab took the sample and ran it through a different test which is negative so no need to worry or come in for more testing. I am so anxious about all this I have been pouring over the labs and researching to be very sure about this. It looks like this lab (a reputable one) ordered a RNA PCR test which per my research was not the right step, they should have ordered a antibody differential and only then a RNA PCR test if needed.
I’m so anxious, my questions are, is this testing sufficient? Is it okay they used the original sample to do more testing? What do I do
