I think you are too much worried that you should be. The PCR RNA test is a good specific test to be done during the early days. If it is not able to detect HIV RNA particle you are virtually free of this virus. Single condom is good enough to prevent contact of fluids.
The body itching that you experience can be because of the anxiety that you carry in your brain. I am not trying to influence you but a matter of fact of any symptom can be experienced if the mind is not at peace.
To end your painless thoughts you get one last test ELISA for HIV after 30 days from the date of exposure. The perfect screening test.
Let me know if you need any clarification.

Hi,
The description of fluid touching and virus being transmitted is far from reality. There are no such confirmed reports that a person acquired virus by touching the vaginal fluid to the tip of the penis. You should start believing in the research and the technology and had gone very far to detect the minutest virus on the planet.
The PCR technique is good to know. It is reliable test wherever done. You can XXXXXXX a Dermatologist or XXXXXXX Medicine Doctor who can spare time and talk to you with care and compassion and make you believe why you should not be worried. ELISA is standard test world over and is available at every standard lab.
I suggest you to XXXXXXX Dr. Vara XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Medicine Specialist, Opposite to XXXXXXX Medical Centre, XXXXXXX Nagar, Visakhapatnam.
Let your thoughts be healthy too.

Thanks for ur wealthy suggestion i had pcr rna test where it is not detected in 100 copies/ml after 17 days .where I could satisfies a lot as u told .and today is my 30th day since exposure, by taking elisa or screening test for antibodies test tomorrow can I rely and no need to go for any futher test.
Yes, reasonable evidence says so that 80% of the people produce antibodies in 30 days. And those antibodies are detected by ELISA for HIV. 99% convert in 3 months.
The decision to take ELISA test is completely yours and I would not suggest with the way the event was described and the prior PCR test was done.
All the best. Wish you do not have any more queries please close our discussion here.
