Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX After analyzing your query I have laid down following answers for your questions:
A) Type of test depends on the centers; most of the centers do RAPID TEST, which is not sensitive. I suggest she should undergo ELISA HIV test if not yet done.
B) Can’t say. It could be just like any other viral fever.
C) First kindly confirm yourself if you are infected with HIV or not, before worrying about your wife’s status.
D) Yes, retest HIV in second and third trimester.
E) Do not worry. I strongly suggest you to visit nearest ICTC-integrated counseling testing centre, there everything are CONFIDENTIAL, and you will be counseled regarding HIV test and chances of getting infected. See, it all depends if that sexual worker was an HIV positive or not, I presume you don’t know her status.
F) For confirmation kindly get WESTERN-BLOT TEST. It is highly sensitive, and you should get your result by 4-8 hrs in a good lab.
Next time please take care of yourself.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.

Hi XXXXXXX
HIV is a peculiar disease. It presents in different ways, sometimes there will be NO SYMPTOMS also. But, most common symptoms will be fever, fatigue, enlarged lymphnodes, chronic cough, nausea, vommiting, diarrhoea, joint pains, weight loss. Most of the symptoms last for weeks, they wont come for few days. It has got WINDOW PERIOD( where the blood tests are negative), which can last from 1 month to 10 years. Hence we always recommend to repeat HIV test after few weeks to months.
Infection can and does occur with just one unprotected sexual encounter. It's important to note that even though the risk is 1 in 1300, that one chance in 1300 can be the first time. SO kindly get an ELISA TEST done, if it is negative repeat the test after 1-2months, then if still it is negative, then do a confirmatory test of WESTERN BLOT/ Immunofluorescence test.
If you do not have any clarification you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
