Negative test: Congratulations but be more careful next time. It is better to own a condom than a condominium some times. :).

Q: i took a 5th gen ag/ab hiv test 39 days post possible exposure. result was non-reactive. am i ok?

Conclusive HIV test: "Fifth generation" for an HIV test is marketing hype -- the manufacturer calls their new test 5th gen, but it's still bacially the same as all other 4th generation tests. Results of 4th gen HIV tests are usually conclusive after 4 weeks and always by 6 weeks (42 days). But 39 days is close enough; for sure you didn't catch HIV.

Q: does getting a non-reactive result on an hiv test mean negative? even with that result can you still be infected?

Yes, : Yes, non-reactive is negative. But you need to know a little more. There are two main ways of looking for HIV infection--by looking for the body's response to the virus (antibody tests) and looking directly for the virus. In the case of antibody tests (such as elisa and western blot) it may take 6-12 weeks to become "positive" (or rarely up to 6 months), so you can be "non-reactive" shortly after catching the disease, but still be harboring it. The test for the virus itself becomes positive much earlier in an infection, but is not generally described as "non-reactive" when it is negative.

Q: did my hiv test cmia method after 2 months 15 days came out non reactive and index 0.13 does i need furthur testing or this result is satisfactory ?

Tested too soon: You did not give us the kind of test you had done, but if it was an antibody test you have tested too soon and will need to test after at least twelve to twenty-four weeks.

Q: my hiv test report say non reactive by rit methods are mentioned. 1) rapid immunochromatographic test 2)elfa why rit mentioned specifically in result?

It is common,: especially in HIV testing where there are several methods, to indicate which method is used. There are at least 4 generations of HIV tests....each successive generation provides more accuracy and earlier definitive results. The two methods mentioned in your question are earlier generation tests; final follow-up testing at least at 3 months after exposure, and possibly 12 months, may be recommended

Q: my wife is pregnant at ninth month, her hiv test result is 0.27 s/co "non-reactive", what is the meaning of this result?

Doesn't have : It means she is not infected with the HIV virus.

Q: what is the accuracy of are my hiv test results?

I don't know: You didn't provide any information about them. Is the result negative or positive? When was it performed in relation to risky behavior? What kind of test was it? I suggest you resubmit your question with more information.

Q: is there anything that affects hiv test results?

: Errors in home testing, other health issues, and sloppy lab testing.

Q: what to do if i got my hiv test results today!!!!?

Plan: If you are HIV positive, plan for a life of compliance with the medications that will save your life, and gratitude to the biotechnology that makes them possible. Yes, gratitude. If you are HIV negative, plan for a future of safe loving, and be grateful that you can be tested accurately and that the disease is largely under control. Best wishes.

: The test result is not likely to be affected by the COVID 19 illness. If you experience symptoms including fever, shortness of breath and cough, please have another COVID 19 screening, self isolate and contact your PCP.
