Questions

I have 2 questions:
1. i was exposed to a commercial sex worker 93 days back (condom broke). I did and HIV-1 RNA PCR test after 56 days, CMIA HIV DUO test after 70 days and an ELISA test after 87 days, all came negative. Bt my doc said to come back again on 6 months. Whats ur say??
2. Yesterday, I was given a body massage ( no penetrative and no oral). She was completely nde and I was on my underwear. She laid on top of me and gave me a masssage. Do this episode warrant an HIV test???

The advice to test out to 6 months post-exposure is outdated.  ALL tests currently on the market are conclusive by 3 months post-exposure, and most much sooner.  

Your DUO test was conclusive for sure.  You do not have HIV.
thank u... and do u feel i need to do hiv test for my mentioned second exposrure??
No, you did not have an exposure, so of course no need to test.

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
