Hai, Usually HIV antibody tests available anywhere will take 8-12 weeks to become positive, sometimes may be delayed upto 3 months. This period is called as window period. So have another check up after 3 months after your contact. If it is negative even after 3 months you need not to worry. If...

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Good Day
The HIV PCR is one of the most sensitive tests to detect HIV virus. It is usually done after 3 weeks of the suspected exposure. You have not specified clearly as to what tests you had done before which were positive. Please elaborate.

i had protected sex with one lady. after ejaculation i removed my condome. later on i have washed my penis with water.
1. whether during washing, is there any chances of getting vaginal fluids into urethra as some of vluids touched my body where condome was not covered(edges)
2. she touches my body with her hand. my doubt is that her hand may contain vaginal fluids. on my body sweat bumps(due to heavy sweat) are there. is there chances of getting hiv into body
3. if i want to make PCR RNA test whether 5 to 6 days is sufficient to get accurate result.
4. have to come across incidentds that during protected sex also, hiv was transmitted.
5. exactly how much time hiv will survive in outside environment
Brief Answer:
Chance of infection is very small but can get test

Hi Dr Samuel, a month and a half ago, I had a sexual encounter with a male like myself that was a complete stranger. I didn't think I'd ever do something like this but it happened. I got sick with diarrhea and now have pale stools all the time, oral thrush really bad and heavy gas. I've tested negative for all the standard std tests other than hsv-1 herpes and mono but I know things like hiv can take time to detect for antibodies. Is their a way I can buy the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test? Nobody seems to know about it or have it. Any other things you can think of it could be that causes these symptoms? I've been in and out of the hospital trying to get people to look into it and everyone says it's stress. I am stressed because my body is not ok. There is nothing normal about it anymore.
Your concern is genuine.
Your picture is suggestive of some fungal infection in your intestinal tract which may be alongwith other serious infections like even HIV.
Well it is always better to get tested for HIV after High Risk Sexual Bevaiour. The tests which identify the antibodies produced by...

hi,
2 and a half days ago i had sex with a high level escort from london escort services. for a second my condom was broken and i immediately noticed it like within 2 seconds and stopped the sex (still not sure if it was broken inside or outside). I also had a shave cut near base of my penis not on the penis but it was not bleeding at time of sex and it was a fresg cut though which i took half an hour before exposure and was hardly visible as it was very minor cut . I am circumcised male . are their any chances of catching hiv? i am really stressed and anxiety is also causing some problems. is there any test that i can go for after a week of exposure?

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Even IF the sex worker is HIV positive, the risk for transmitting HIV in the incident you have described is very low. Transmitting HIV from female to male is significantly harder than from male to female. You had a single brief possible exposure during which you were...

Hi doc,
I got a couple of questions to ask. First is about hiv. Me and my partner had an oral sex last two weeks and we did a home test hiv kit and the result came out negative for both of us. My partner is an escort. Since our results are negative, is there any possibilities i could be infected if my partner is in a hiv seroconversion stage which i did not know of?
My second question will be, i think i had scabies a couple of days back and it disappeared the night i treated it but when i got them i had experience diarrhea which passes water stools. Then today i feel a little nausea but i didnt vommit. Could this be food poisoning?

How accurate is a HIV RNA early detection test at 8 days post exposure?
I know the HIV RNA test is 95-99% at 9-11 days post exposure. I am heading out of town and wanted to get one on the 8th day. Would this just decrease its accuracy slightly? I'm just looking for some comfort before I can take a DUO test at 3 weeks. Thank you.
