My HIV tests at five weeks are negative. What are the chances for it to be positive later?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Unprotected vaginal intercourse carries a risk of 4 in 10,000 exposures. Approximately 95 % of the people who are infected with HIV develop HIV antibodies by four to six weeks of exposure, and almost all who are infected with HIV develop HIV antibodies by three months. There are rare cases of late seroconversion at six months, which is also reported in the literature. It is really good that your five-week test result is negative. Get a confirmatory test at three and six months of last exposure.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your query.

It is good that your test result at nearly 12 weeks is negative. Tonsillitis could be due to any viral or bacterial infection. If it is chronic, you might require an antibiotic course for five to seven days.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Hi,

Welcome to iclinic.com.

I understand your concern.

You need an ENT (ear, nose, throat) evaluation for chronic tonsillitis. There are numerous causes for the same. But, it is unlikely due to HIV as your three-month test is negative.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
