Is There Any Chance Of Not Being HIV Infected After Being In Contact With HIV Positive?
dear sir, i have had a sexual contact with a hiv positive girl for one year during 20008-09 without any sefty precautions taken. after that i havent had any kind of sexual contact. but when i went for an elisa test last week the result came back as NON REACTIVE (0.07) . WHAT DOES IT MEAN ? Is there any possibility of me being not affected to HIV
thank you for query.The chances of transmission of HIV by sexual route is 1/ 200 to 1/2000 even if the partner is HIV infected.so it is possible that you may not be infected.also you may be in window period.if the test is done 3 months after last exposure then it unlikely you are uninfected,otherwise there are chances of positivity. You can get back to me for any clarifications with the photos and details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
