hiv testing

dear dr Sean,

i had duo-4th generation hiv tests done at day 19, 39 and 52 (i.e. during week 3, week 6 and week 8) and they all resulted negative. The physician i have consulted is giving me advise that this is to be considered final and conclusive.
i have for the past 2 weeks from day 42-43 experienced various different symptomps such as very hot tummy and back, an afta below my tongue, dhiarrea for 1-2 days, difficulty to sleep etc. It is now day 57 post exposure. My doctor confirmed that i have not contracted any infection in his opinion and that my symptmos are most likely stress-anxihety related as i am quite a nervous individual.

do you agree that my results are conclusive and that i do not need further testing?

thanks

You wasted your time having all those tests because you never had a risk in the first place.

You never had a risk and don,t require any testing for this situation.And to clear up another matter,no hiv test is 100% conclusive until 3 months post-exposure.But you don,t need to worry about that because you had no risk.

i wud explain. i was in that room, admittely drunk and for the first time inmy life for probably 10 mins. First i kissed her neck and brest, than she applied a condom and practiced oral sex, with the condom, for less than a minute, subsequerntly we had intercourse for 3-4 minutes. immediately after, she took 3'-4 straps pf paper, removed my condom which appeared to be totally intact and trowed it away. Went to the toilet, washed a little bit, dressed and left. Sorry to be so detailed, but having now done 3 tests (4th generation) at day 19, 40 and 52 all negative i still suffer from axiety mostly because of symptomps of diharrea, hot tummy and back, an afta in my mouth, difficulty to sleep i would expect for stress etc.

i read in this forum dr sean suggesting that a duo test after 47-48 days should be considered final and conclusive, and likewise my phisician tells me that i have ot been infected.

appreciated any more feedback

thanks

Then you never had a risk because you used protection and your safe.No testing required.

although i was drunk, i recall having approx 4-5 mins of protected sex with a prostitute and i could not notice any problems with the condom at all.

What was your risk?

you have very very very good chance that you are not infected. Follow up with test at 3 months post exposure
