A member asked:

First hiv test negative..i am planning to do 2nd test after 2 months.if that also comes -ve does it mean im safe and no infection?please guide me doc

Six months later: Do one more test about 6 months after the episode in which you may have acquired the infection. Did you consider getting prophylactic/post-exposure treatment? It is better to take such treatment as soon as possible after suspected exposure to hiv.
