What Do These Rapid HIV Test Results And VDRL Test Results Indicate?
Question: Hello doctor Bharatesh,
I had already spoken to you regarding my risk of contacting hiv from having sex with a sex worker. It happened on oct 7th 2014. Had sex with condoms for 2-3 minutes. Condom was intact , this was the first and last time that I have ever done this. A little vaginal fluid touched the head of my penis while removing the condom. I wiped it off with a tissue and later washed my penis only after 20mins. My medical reports were clean till this incident. I am really scared about contacting hiv. I did a rapid hiv test 30 days past exposure and a hiv1 pcr rna on 39 days past exposure. Both came out negative. I also got a hep b, hiv elisa and vdrl test 104 days (19 XXXXXXX 2015) past exposure which came out non reactive. Am I safe? Do I have hiv? Do I have to take more test or can I just move on in life . I am really worried. I really need guidance. Please help me doctor. Are these tests conclusive? I did these tests in XXXXXXX hospital XXXXXXX Please advice me on the same.

Hi doctor,
I have one last doubt. I asked the hospital for hiv1,2 elisa. But they billed it as hiv elisa. Is this for both 1&2 ? I asked tem what generation test this is and they could not tell me. Does Hiv elisa check for both hiv 1&2? And does the generation of the teat matter? Thanks for your guidance and support.
