Brief Answer:
You should start with antiretroviral therapy (ART), this medication is recommended for nearly all patients with HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help for you today. Do you mean you get HIV positive? The treatment of HIV should be started with you because disease related complication can occur if you do not treat even your CD4 counts high and the drug for HIV is less toxic. You should start with antiretroviral therapy (ART), this medication is recommended for nearly all patients with HIV. Selection of antiviral regimen should be informed by the results of drug resistance testing. But we also initiate treatment as soon as feasible, even if results of baseline resistance testing are not yet known. The drug should be prescribed by your doctor.

I hope that I can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I Hope you have good health.

Best regards,

Brief Answer:
ould recommend you to do another test 3 months later after exposure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you again for your question. HIV 1/2 antigen and antibody 4th generation combination HIV screening immunoassay(ELISA) is recommended, it detects antibodies to both HIV 1 and HIV 2 as well. I would recommend you to do another test 3 months later after exposure. If you are high risk exposures when HIV transmission remains a concern, repeat testing in one to two weeks (especially if symptoms of acute HIV develop) is warranted.
Hope I have answered your query. If you need any other clarifications, please let me know. Wish she has good health. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Your result is negative after 7 month of exposure negative so it means you do not have HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your question. Your result is negative after 7 month of exposure negative so it means you do not have HIV. Usually the HIV test antibody to HIV antigen 6 weeks to 3 months after being exposed. But even though there is no guarantee that it will stay a negative test longer than 6 months. But in my practise there is no person who is positive after 6 months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
