Question 1

i had negative hiv duo 4 months after sex. i donated blood after 5 months. it was accepted. they do hiv, hep b & c antibody and rna tests. am i clear?

Accepted Answer

It appears so: Given all of the tests have been negative, there is no problem I can see unless you have since had sex with a new partner then the tests may not turn positive for weeks later.

Question 2

wanted to have my ducks in a row for my negative results: hiv 4th generation test (14 weeks), hcv rna (9 weeks) hcv ab (14 weeks), syphilis rpr & ab (14 weeks), hep surface antigen (12 weeks, positive antibody). all conclusive at this point?

Accepted Answer

: All results are valid and conclusive.

Question 3

why is my tongue white with a sore (lesion) to side with what appears to be white hairy stuff growing around it. pos ebv, pos herpes, pos hep a, neg 4 gen hiv test & pcr rna after 11 months exposure. body aches all over. back pain. hiv-2 possible?

Accepted Answer

: For complete evaluation I recommend consulting both an oral surgeon and a specialist in infectious disease. I think your description matches a condition called oral hairy leukoplakia which is triggered by EBV or HIV(although your hiv testing is encouraging) Let the specialists give you the best advice. You may not need any specific treatment, only symptomatic treatment.

Question 4

is a hep-c rna test conclusive at 45 days post exposure?

Accepted Answer

: Yes.  the hepatitis C virus RNA (PCR) test — can detect the virus much sooner. It can identify whether a person has the infection 2–3 weeks after exposure.
God forbid, you have Hep C infection, note that is is curable with medication.

Question 5

which is better a hep-c rna qualitative or hep-c quantitative at 45 days? or is there no difference at that time frame?

Accepted Answer

: The "qualitative" test is more accurate than the "quantitative" test because qualitative tests are able to detect very low levels of the virus.

Question 6

what does 1.68 on a hcv rna quantitative test mean. i was cured of hep c after 6 weeks of taking harvoni?

Accepted Answer

: Once the measurement of your viral load drops to 15 IU/mL or fewer, the amount of the virus is considered undetectable. Yes, you are cured.

Question 7

is hiv pooled rna together with hiv antibody test and hep c pooled rna together with hep c antibody test at 93 days of a lancet prick conclusive? thx

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pooling makes no difference in these tests. Negative results at 3 months are conclusive.

Question 8

results: hep c quant. : 2,802,680 
hcv log10: 6.448. reflex to genotype was unable to determine genotype even though there was sufficient hcv rna?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis C virus: Sometimes it's not possible to determine the genotype of this virus, which thus makes the expected response to treatment more uncertain. This is a 'slippery virus' -there are 11 major genotypes (designated 1-11), and many subtypes (a, b, c, etc.) A hepatologist (GI subspecialist) or an ID doctor who works with Hep C patients can help you. You'll need an established relationship for treatment...

Question 9

hep c +, no viral load, rna performed.was told i cleared the virus 11years ago. in a new relationship. how do i explain this to my partner? confused.

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis C Cleared: This means you were infected. But, you did not get the chronic or active infection. Clearing this infection means you are no longer contagious.

Question 10

advia hep.c antibody +, hcv rna -. 3 months later architect hep c ab -, hcv rna -. 2 hep c ab verification tests -.is advia hepc ab test false positiv

Accepted Answer

Without more info: and only the data you submitted in your question, I would put it together the way you did: the first Advia hepC Ab test was a false positive.  I presume other experts who arranged your follow-up testing have suggested the same interpretation. Stay well:)
