My HIV combo test is negative after 14 and 35 days of unprotected oral sex. Am I safe from HIV?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the query.

The chances of transmission of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) by single unprotected intercourse with an HIV-positive person are low. It is good that you had negative HIV and PCR after 14 days and negative HIV antibodies test after 30 days. The chances of HIV tests coming positive later are almost nil. But it is advisable to do an HIV antibodies test after three months to have conclusive results.

Thanks.

It is considered almost conclusive. The chances of HIV tests coming positive later is nil. It is better to go for an HIV antibodies test after three months of exposure to relieve anxiety.

These symptoms are not related to HIV. it occurs due to irritation or friction or overcleaning. Do not overclean. Avoid friction or irritation. Wash with warm water twice daily. Do not use harsh soaps. Do not repeat the HIV test again until post 3 months exposure.

These mouth sores occur due to stress or aphthous ulcers. Avoid stress. These are not related to HIV. Take a balanced diet with multivitamins.

Thank you for the query. This may be due to respiratory contact with any person. You can take treatment for this from your treating doctor. It is non-specific and need not be due to HIV. There are no specific symptoms of HIV. HIV is diagnosed by tests. In your scenario, all HIV-related tests are negative so far, and likely to be negative too after three months.

Thank you for the query. There are no specific symptoms and time frames. Anyway, these are unlikely in your scenario with given test results and symptoms. Just relax. Forget the episode and wait for the final test.

Thank you for the follow-up query. Yes, steroids can affect the antibodies production to some extent. But one thing good is your HIV PCR test, which is already negative. That is usually not affected by steroids. So your antibodies taken after three months will be almost conclusive. So nothing to worry about.

Thank you for the follow-up query. You need not stop Prednisolone without your treating doctor's advice and for this purpose. You can go for an HIV antibodies test after three months of exposure. It is good enough. Usually, antibodies are formed in two to six weeks. You are doing after three months. Moreover, it is a combo test that has antigen components too. You need not worry about this. Three months is enough with your previous test results too.

Thank you for the follow-up query. In my opinion, the HIV fourth generation antibodies test with negative results taken after three months can be considered almost conclusive along with your previous negative test results too. There is no need to do further HIV tests. The tongue ulcer symptoms may occur due to stress or drugs treatment, or deficiency. It is non-specific and not related to HIV.
