Question: Hello Doctor, I had a protected sexual exposure with a female of unknown HIV status 24 march 2013, have several HIV tests, total of 7. All test results are NON-Reactive. Out of 7 tests, 4 were done by Lal Path labs. From date of exposure 4.5 months Rapid screening test using flow through immuno filtration HIV 1/2 antibodies, Non Reactive, After 6 months had 2 more tests, one Flow through immuno filtration and second is CMIA HIV 1/2 antibodies + P24 Antigen again NON REACTIVE Last one after 8 months , Flow through immuno Filtration HIV 1/2 antibodies, which again is Non Reactive. Now my stupid worries. Was searching the internet found some consumer court complaints against lal path labs , including fake test reports. Then yesterday saw on news that court fined 4lakhs to lal path labs for wrong hiv test carried on army officer. OMG, after seeing this the paranoid in me again started wondering what if all tests done through lal path labs were not real. Doc, is that my anxiety only or something else, do i really need to worry? In all these months i though lal path labs is reputed lab and one can trust them, but now its like confused and again scared.

Thank you Doc, Do you think my irrational fears are making me worry about this, since i had protected encounter and these test certainly prove there is nothing to worry about. Trusting the results is seems questionable, maybe i am confused. I need reassurance of some kind, really have no idea what to do.
