Brief Answer:
You are HIV free. No further test is necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

Fingering carries a negligible risk towards HIV as per CDC, XXXXXXX US.
Minor cuts after the incident did not have any effect on your risk as the virus, if at all that individual is positive for HIV, would die within few seconds . It is a highly fragile virus and can not with stand outside the body or body fluids and drying. So there is no question of getting infection after 2 days.

It is sure that you are HIV free. The rapid tests done by you 95 days and 4 months after the incident had clearly ruled out the least possibility of HIV in you. TRIDOT test is highly reliable to an extent of 98%. A double negative test makes the reliability of the test almost 100%.
There is no possibility of delayed sero-conversion for HIV . Nothing to worry . No more test is necessary for you.

My tension gone now.one final conformation If the general Antibiotics injection before 1 months will change the test result after 4 and half months right?

Elisa test result after 4 months 20 days is 0.29s/co and range is <1.0 negative

Brief Answer:
Antibiotics not interfered with test results.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

Antibiotics through injection normally will have action within the body not more than 6-12 hours, rarely some will remain for 24 hours except that of Depot preparation. After this time it will be excreted or removed from the body either through kidney or liver. So the antibiotic injection you had a month back before the incident had no effect on your test result. Moreover antibiotics have action over the bacteria only and not on virus. So your test results were no way getting affected. Your results are final and you are free from HIV.

Brief Answer:
HIV Window period is not more than 90 days.Your risk is negligible.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Window period is 6-8 weeks and prolonged up to 12 weeks in normal circumstances. If the infected individual is on some immuno suppressive drugs like steroids then it may be extended up to six months.

Even if you had minor abrasions over your finger during fingering, then also the HIV risk is negligible only.
