HIV DNA PCR pOSSITIVE

[Suicidal07]

Hello all

Having a sex contact with a sexs worker(-protected vaginal-unprotected oral) and because of my anxiety reading of the risk of getting the disease,even if its a low risk, ihad cause i couldn wait an DNA PCR at 6 weeks on a lab. The result came back possitive(my first thought was suicide,i mean it)and they told me to confirm it to a general hospital.I went to hospital were they gave me elisa test-western blot plus a p24 antigen test. THEY CLAIM THAT TESTS ARE 4TH GENERATION .ALL NEGATIVE.
They advise me to have a repeat tests at the end of 3 months.
Not dealing with anxiety and stress i had a 3rd generation test Elisa at 11 weeks(76 days).Negative also.
My life is a living hell and i m on antidipression drugs by my doctor.My Virologist doctor claim that after a 11 weeks negative test i m 98% negative..I have to wait another 2 weeks for the 13 weeks test..
Every day i m thinking of giving an end to this hell..
Whats your thoughts about this situation?
I dont know how to deal with this..4th generation tests are claiming that they re accurrate at 6 weeks-3rd generation antibody tests claiming that are conclusive at 12-13 weeks.
But with a possitive DNA PCR test on my back how can i have hope that maybe its a wrong result?
Any help its higly apprecated..Pls HELP

Sorry for my bad english

I also thought to suicide a few months ago (because of the fear to get HIV). I was VERY worried to transmit HIV to my wife and to ruin the life of my daughters.I told to a friend that I was planinng to suicide, he told me that that was the most egoist thing I could do. Later, I told to my wife what had happend. She told me that if I get HIV, she would not stop loving me, and that if for some bad luck she got HIV from me, it is not the worst thing (we will thake medicine). As long as I loved her and my family, everithing can go on. The point is, maybe the things are not as you think they are!! You can be totally wrong!!! Yo can't think well because of your anxiety!!!!! You really don't have a real risk (you can't get HIV by oral sex, and you would have noticed if the condom was broken, that is for sure). Kick off the hell on Earth and be sure that everything is going to be ok. Try the HIV anxiety forum. If you where having true HIV risk, Teak and Lizzie would have told you for sure. So, do not look at the clift, and bether look a good picture (really!).

kindly move on...

No. Had the condom failed you would have known. You never had a risk. Take the time to read the thread, "Guidelines, read before posting."

[Suicidal07]

isnt it a big factor that i m not sure about my condom? i really dont remeber,was bit drunk..so theoritacly or practicaly there is a risk and that test its my biggest fear so far that something went wrong.

[Teak]

You are putting yourself in that situation. You never had a risk and didn't need testing.

[Suicidal07]

What a living hell is a a situation like mine..Nobody can feel the pain..and its big and devasted.
I have to live with anxiety for another 2 weeks to reach the13 weeks and if the test comes neg, i had to live with anxiety again for another 3 months.
I can understand people saying NO RISK  THROUGH ORAL SEX BUT I DONT REALLY REMEMBER IF ANYTHING WAS OK WITH THE CONDOM.. I  really dont remember..
Weird that i dont see any other cases of people getting false possitive results like mine as all people claim that the test is..
I  really appreciate your support but u can see how a possitive test can change your life.
I can only be able post here cause of my medication i was given by a psychiatrist,otherways i m looking always the cliff near to my house..
Sad but True..Its not about me really but for my loved ones and u know what i mean.

Thanks again
If u think that i had to stop posting here i will..Nothing really matters to me right now..I living that just on my own and now i realize that hell its on earth..not somewhere else..

Thank u again
Peace and Love To Anyone

Hi, realy, make an effort to say calm. PCR tests are not used for HIV diagnosis for the high rate of false positives. Think that you have also tested for the virus using the p24 test and its negative. Also a Western-Blot and is negative. And a 3rd generation and is negative. Besides, you can't get HIV by oral sex. Realy stay calm.

[Teak]

YOU NEVER HAD A RISK.

[Suicidal07]

Sorry to answer back if all the above members thinks that my condition its a waste of time and i dont mean it in a sarcastic way.I respect their oppinions and their time advising people.I really do !
Just facing the facts that i had unprotected oral sex that of course its a low risk case but still a risk factor(informations on net are talkin about small unseen cuts on pennis that the human eye cannot see, can be a factor) and mentioning that i m not sure about  if the condom was used ok and there was not an accident(a hole or something)cause i was bit drunk.
Cause i wannt it to be sure about that and protect any future partner(I m very serius about that)i choose and decide the expensive DNA PCR testwith its high accuracy as people claiming so i m sure about it and not put in danger nobody.
False or not False result,the fact its that i have to repeat tests cause of this result and according to hospital policy cause of my previus result if my repeat test at 2 weeks(13 weeks)are negative(praying to God for that) i have to repeated at 6 months.
So u can see my point of anxiety.
All medical sites are claiming 3 months  conclusive but when u have a PCR POSSITIVE THEY GONNA TEST U AGAIN AT 6 MONTHS.
So from this point of view nothing its for sure even in a 3 months negative result and i m sure no doctor can be 100% sure thats its conclusive when a possitive PCR has been showed.

My life its a living hell...
How can i be absolute sure about my condition?


My tests

DNA PCR -POSSITIVE  (6WEEKS)
P24 ANT-ELISA-WESTERN BLOT(4th gen) - NEGATIVE(7WEEKS)
ELISA 3RD GEN - NEGATIVE (11WEEKS-76DAYS)

Thank u again and sorry for bad english and long post.
I M SO LOST AND HELPLESS.

Hi,

You are negative. PCR tests have a high rate of false positives. If you are negative with ELISA 4th generation (at 11 weeks) you are negative. STAY CALM!

[LIZZIE LOU]

take it to the hiv anxiety community...you never had a risk PLUS you have an 11 week negative test result.  this forum has nothing left to offer.

[Suicidal07]

I HOPE SO..u can imagine the hell i mon right now and how badly thinking of giving an end..Its too much right now for me..And reading about 6 months confirmation its something i cannot take for long

[LIZZIE LOU]

and..........................................YOU NEVER HAD A RISK.

[LIZZIE LOU]

your 11 week test is not going to change ! !  you dont have hiv.

[Suicidal07]

So what are u thinking of all my negative results so far?

[LIZZIE LOU]

THIS POST is a fine example of WHY we dont tell ppl, who had NO RISK, to test ! ! !

[Suicidal07]

Just want to add that the sex worker use her tongue on my anus..And of course i m not so sure if anything went ok with my condom..Sorry if i sound childish or something but a possitive DNA PCR its something that u cannot deal so easy.

Thank u

This is one of the reasons why we do not recommend anything but an antibody test and why we don't recommend testing if you never had a risk. False positives happen and looks like it happened with you. You did not have a risk and did not need testing.
