Hi
Thank you for query XXXXXXX Shah. Welcome back to health care magic.
I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.

As I had said earlier HIV RNA PCR is > 99% sensitive. Duo test is negative too after 1 month.It detects P24 antigen and HIV1&2 Antibodies.It is considered conclusive by many after 1 month.
Both results do suggest you are free from HIV.

You can get back for any clarification.

Thank you sir ! That is reassuring !
Should i test for a full std panel along with hivat 3 months ?
I already took 1gm azithromycin stat for chlam
Would 500 mg ofloxacin and 1 gm azithro be suff for gonorrhea?? I havent had any symptoms and mu entire focus all this while was on HIV!
