Accepted Answer

: Typical testing regimen is at 1 month (more than 28 days) and 6 months. If either is positive, you will be offered medications that reduce the viral load in your bloodstream. You should talk to your Dr about using PrEP while you are waiting for results, and even if they come back negative. These prophylactic meds can prevent HIV infection during high risk encounters.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

HIV nucleic acid: Given the uncertainty it would be prudent to get HIV nucleic acid test. If the test is negative about 6 weeks after exposure it would more or less rule out HIV, unless you continue at risk behavior.

Question 6

is a negative 4th gen duo conclusive at 10 weeks regardless of the other person's hiv status? odds of results changing at six months mark in january?

Accepted Answer

See below: The chance of a different result at 6 months is low, but it would be prudent to get a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 months after exposure.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex

Question 7

hiv duo test at 28 days is accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is: More than 95% after 4 weeks of exposure, conclusive &gt; 99% at 12 weeks. You need to test for other STIs as well if you had a risky exposure, not just HIV, be safe

Question 8

what is hiv duo test or hiv combo test?

Accepted Answer

HIV testing: It is a combination of the routine HIV antibody test combined with a specific protein antigen known as p29.  This is thought to be nearly 95% accurate by six to twelve weeks.

Question 9

is hiv duo test conclusive after 4 month negative?

Accepted Answer

HIV: This test measures p24 antigen and HIV antibodies and if negative 4 mos after exposure has an inordinately high likelihood that you are negative and will remain so if you do not have further exposures. Some might advise being retested at 6 mos, but doubt this is necessary. Best wishes.

Question 10

is hiv 4th gen duo conclusive after 4 weeks post exposure.

Accepted Answer

Yes, conclusive: The 4th generation HIV tests (for both HIV antibody and p24 antigen, therefore also called "duo" or "combo" tests) are conclusive any time 4 weeks or more after the last possible exposure. You're good to go.
