Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

You had used protection then why are you thinking about danger because the risk is not there. 4th generation HIV Duos test is negative after 8 months of exposure so it is 100% conclusive because the window period for HIV varies from 15 days to 3 months. Allay the fear of HIV as you are absolutely safe.

Any HIV test whether it is ELISA or 4th generation Duos or RNA PCR is better after and 100% accurate after 3 months of exposure so no need to think much about it. Be relaxed, forget about the incidence and move ahead in life without any worry or tension because you are completely risk free from HIV.

Thank You
