Hi teak, I took elisa 4th generation test yesterday and got negative.
As I had two low risk exposures.
1. 2.3 years ago
2. 3.5 months ago
Is this result is conclusive for both exposures??

Hi diver58, the whole purpose of posting this discussion was to get the reassurance for my typhoid. Acutally 2 month ago i got a small typhoid and it cured with 8 days antibiotics. I never had typhoid before this. Now last month i got again typhoid greater than previous. I had a quick thought in my mind regarding to my 2..2 years old protected sex that i might have got hiv due to that intercourse because the any condom might got broken that time. Due to which my immune system got weakend and i got typhoid again. That is my concern. I m a hypocondriac also.
Condom failure has nothing to do with vaginal conditions,, You were told that it is the correct or incorrect use that matters. Your question is not related to HIV transmission, for further queries related to condoms, you can contact the relevant manufacturer
Hi teak, thanks for your comment. Please tell me that does a condom has low failure rate in loose vagina (after birth of a child) than tight vagina?
You never had an exposure so you will not have an ARS concern.
Hi diver58, Could you please tell me that what percentage of people get ARS and why some people don't get them till later?
Yes you are right, condom failures are catastrophic
You mean to say that if a condom breakes, my penis head will be fully exposed to outside. There can not be a microhole or cut during the intercourse. Am I right??
Every condom can break, irrespective of its brand. It is the correct or incorrect usage of condom that matters. You protect yourself if you use condoms correctly and consistently.
However, condom failure is too obvious to ignore, you will know it the moment it fails because the failure is not a crack or a pinhole, but it tear apart from the top, exposing the head of your penis
Please tell me, what chances are to a high quality condom to break
"they remain asymptomatic",,, sorry for the typo
Well, to be honest, sometime people do not know about their infection for years because they remain symptomatic. However symptoms or no symptoms, that does not matter, what really matters, is the exposure. And that exposure is non existing in your case.
Hi diver58, thanks for your kind help. I meant to say that If I had hiv then would I have known in those 2 years?? would I have any minor or major indicator or is it just an anxiety?
You had protected sex and your protection did not fail during the intercourse (had it failed, you would have known it), you are fine and need not to worry about HIV.
1. No you should not worry
2. Yes if a person is diagnosed with HIV, he may need to start his medication based on his viral load/CD4 count, strictly under medical supervision. However this is not the situation in your case, You do not have HIV
3.I am not aware of such side effects of antibiotics, however you can consult your physician about it.
Though you do not need a test in first place, however you may get yourself tested anytime now and collect your conclusive report, ONLY to get peace of mind, if nothing else works to eliminate your anxiety
I can never remember any ARS in that window period because I think I did not have anything like fever, sore throat, diharia in that period.
