What tests are required to detect the presence of HIV antibodies?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and undersood your concern.

The chances of transmission of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) by single hand job is nil unless there are bleeding wounds in the hand. You would have noticed it. It is good that the HIV tests are negative. The chances of HIV tests coming positive later are almost nil. But it is better to go for an HIV antibody test after 90 days of exposure for conclusive results. Consult your doctor for further examination and management of your symptoms. They are nonspecific and need not be due to HIV.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

The chances of HIV tests coming positive later are almost nil. Your symptoms are nonspecific and need not be due to HIV. It can be due to anxiety or stress. Antibiotics are not likely to affect HIV antibody test results.

I hope this has helped you.

It is unlikely due to HIV. I suggest you consult your doctor for further examination of the lymph nodes. There is no need for HIV tests until 90 days of exposure. It will not matter much as it is likely to come negative.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a very sensitive test. Usually, it is not used for diagnosis. So, HIV antibodies after evaluated after 90 days of exposure.

I hope this has helped you.
