Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
A year back I had my first sexual contact. I gave him a blowjob and he did anal to me unprotected. I got tested for HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) with CMIA (chemiluminescent magnetic microparticle immunoassay) test two months back and it came out negative and non-reactive. I have heard the window period is 90 days. I tested after 250 days. So is this test conclusive? I do not want to go to test again. I have not had sex since then.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, an HIV screening test is considered conclusive at 12 weeks and beyond after risk exposure. So you do not need to test any further. Your test result is reliable and conclusive.

Thank you doctor.
There is no need to worry, right? I can relax and have peace of mind and lead a normal life, right?
Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, you do not need to worry about the risk of HIV from that particular exposure. The screening test has convincingly ruled out HIV.
