Question: i took an Eclia Duo test in a tab after 24 weeks of possible exposure (Oral sex on a women). The test came back non reactive. Also tested for all STDs, all came back negative. But still i'm having persisting systems like swollen lymph nodes and sore throat. These symptoms are there for the past 5 months, means it started exactly 1 month after my possible exposure. In addition to this Eclia Duo test on 24 week, i had taken a rapid test 8 weeks after the exposure and many home rapid tests for HIV 1/2 and all was negative (during the last 24 weeks i took almost 10 home rapid tests using JAL innovation's Icare Rapid test kits. My questions are 1) Should i be still concerned about HIV from my last incident 2) If not HIV and other STDs, what might be causing my persistent systems. Please reply. Please note that i'm a healthy individual without any other known diseases.

Dear Doctor, My doctor had given the antibiotic based on the report only. It was as mentioned below. Doctor is there any chance for me to have a rare stain/sub type of HIV? DO i need any further testing as now i'm on the 25th week after last oral sex and 33 weeks after the lat vaginal (non protected) sex with a girl having unknown hiv status? As P24 antogen will not be detectable after 6 weeks, since my test was on 25th week, will it affect my result, although the test was checking the antibodies as well. If there any chance for both factors (Antigen+Antibody) to be non detectable at any stage, in perticular at 24 week (as in my case) after possible incident. Culture Report : Moderate Growth of Streptococcus Group A. Isolated. Method: Disc diffusion Antibiotics Sensitivity Ciprofloxacin S Levofloxacin S Augmentin (Amoxyclavue) S Cefuroxime S Cefixime S Ceftriaxone S Azithromycin S Ofloxacin S Clarythromycin S Moxifloxacin S
