Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can most certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.

I have worked through your query and attached images/reports in detail.

This test involves a negative result which implies that you have not been infected with the HIV virus.

Further, I would like to know after how many days of having sex you took this examination?

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Get RT PCR

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.

Considering your current symptoms and 45 day mark for the previous test , it is important that you go for another more specific and confirmatory test RT PCR for HIV 1 and 2.

A negative test will literally rule out HIV.

Swollen neck glands can be treated with short course of antibiotics.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
