Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concern,

I can guide you better if you can upload the test reports of DUO CMIA for HIV as values vary from lab to lab.

Once I receive your report, I can explain you in detail about your doubts on 0.11 and 0.5.

Answered by Dr. Suresh Heijebu (13 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Results are in normal range with intralab variations

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

Non-reactive range HIV duo test is 0.0-1.0.

The variations between your and other two values are insignificant.

These are Intra lab variations.

Do not worry.

For body pains, a short course of analgesics like Voveran will help.Please check with your doctor if he can prescribe them to you.

These pains are not related to HIV infection as you might be afraid of.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
HIV DUO 4th Gen is conclusive at 28 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

Hope you are satisfied with my phone conversation.

As advised get a VDRL test and update me test results.

Also, let me know the antibiotics which you have earlier used.

HIV DUO 4th GEN test is extremely sensitive and conclusive at 28 days.

The 4th Generation EIA (aka Duo or Combo) Test looks for both antibodies and P24 protein antigens. The antigen portion of the test is detectable immediately after infection (3-4 days), for the first 2 to 4 weeks.

The antibody portion of the test is typically detectable from 4-6 weeks onward. Many HIV specialists consider this test to be conclusive at 6 weeks. So, your test at 28 days(initially TRIDOT @ 30 days and DUO @ 46 days in your case) is a very good indicator of your status, regardless of the type of exposure or those statistics for vaginal sex risk you quoted.

In case you are still confused, RT-PCR can help you to offer more conclusive results.

As far as headache and backache is concerned , it is as a result of excessive worry and anxiety you are going through over the test results.

I advise you to take a week course of anxiolytic drugs like Clonazepam to allay your undue fear and anxiety. Please verify with your doctor if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

In case of any penile symptoms like itching or white patches or red rashes , I advise you to take a single dose of Fluconazole 150 mg. Please check with your physician if he can prescribe the same to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
