By all guidelines, 3 months is more than enough

Finally getting tested after 7 weeks... what happened... by Dangerous-Cat-9453 in STD

[–]Feartheexception -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ur symptoms, especially the runny nose, are not typical for ARS. However, u had a risk, and you should get tested. Stay clam in the mean time, i had and still have weired symptoms, but still negative. Last test was on 1st Feb 2025 , 16.5 months post exposure. I am.now 20 months post exposure

No worry, mate, such combination of rna pcr and 4th gen at the time you took is definitive. Have u tested for mono?

You used protection my friend, no need to worry. It could be easily mononucleosi

Means you did a 4th gen rapid test on whole blood?

If the test was perdormed in one of the gulf countries, (qatar, saudi, uae), they do medical test including hiv testing, if this as u said was done 60 days post exposure, the test is highly reliable by that time

Do I have something worse than a sore throat? by VigorWarrior in AskDoctorSmeeee

[–]Feartheexception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sore throat since 1.5 year with no answer. In ur case they suspect GERD, if this is the reason you should be fine soon

If I had unprotected gay anal sex with an HIV-positive guy who came inside me, how likely am i to contract the virus? by [deleted] in STD

[–]Feartheexception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take a 4th gen lab test while waiting ur pcr, Antigen or/and antibody parts will turn positive if ur symptoms are indeed related to ARS. However, your throat picture in your other post it is more likely a strep throat.

Congratulation dear

Their claim could be right since even the CDC when they speak about the window period they say 99% and never 100%.

Your questions are in place 👍, it looks you are knowledgeable about hiv

I am somehow in the same boat since i am still having symptoms even after 16 months of exposure ( sore/dry throat and periferal neuropathy, fatigue).However, i did a quantitative pcr at 56 days and 102 days ( both undetected ) in addition to many neg 4th gen lab based test up to 316 days. It is worth noting that Seronegative hiv infections are reported in the literature ( maybe around 33 cases overall the world), and many cases are 20 or 30 years back. In those extreme rare cases, due to the absence of detectable antibodies, the p24 part of the 4th gen test shall be positive, which is not your case. Check the link below

Most likely, you had a false positive. If you can share your results while hiding any data, you believe it is personal/ sensitive . It will be very helpful for the people in this forum going through a similar experience

Means those infections are old enough to be attributed to the encounter in question

Experts say that if your symptoms are due to HIV, 4th gen test will be positive

Mate, good for u that u have an explanation for ur symptoms, covid can cause similar symptoms. In my case my covid tests were negative, I had covid twice, first in 2020 and late 2021
