hiv test

1.i had a possible exposure due to unprotected sex on 3rd April..on 7th april i had a VDRL,CBC and HIV tridot test..reports were negative..CBC count was good..The local doc said that in some cases HIV can be found in such a short span of time..how valid is this report?? i will have a test at 6 weeks and on 3months for a conclusive report..

2.also i am prescribed a multivitamin,multimineral and antioxidant tonic..will this pose any difference to my conclusive result at 3months??

3.does the tridot test produce conclusive result at 3months??i have heard that there are certain cases which turned positive at 6 months duration and few around 1 year..a confusion in this field..

4.how much is it probable that if one is negative at the 6 weeks test then he will be negative at the 3months test also??

please address the 4 points kindly..Im from India..

3 months is a conclusive result.
There is no minimum amount of days it varies for everyone. Typically antibody production is not detectable until about 4 weeks for some, others 6 weeks or 8 or so on. That is why 3 months is conclusive.

1. HIV would never be found just 4 days after exposure.

2. No

3. Yes 3 months. 6 months and 1 year is a myth

4. Not likely, but possible
