I asked the lab person to do ELISA/WB test for me .. i gave my blood ... and they asked me to come after 3 days .. but after 3 days i got result ... but they did some other test..
It was written as follows..

I'm not reading through that massive wall of text.

Did you have unprotected anal or vaginal sex?

Did you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex (ie sex without a condom)?

Sam,

It's no surprise that you've tested conclusively and reliably hiv negative. Nothing you did or had done to you was a risk for hiv infection.

Getting a blowjob, with or without a condom is not a risk for hiv infection. Kissing is also not a risk. Not only is saliva not infectious, but it also contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes that damage hiv and render it unable to infect.

Protected intercourse is just that - protected against hiv. Condoms have been proven to prevent hiv infection.

The tests that have been used on you are reliable and you have tested far outside the window period. You do NOT have hiv.

If you feel unwell, see a doctor. It's nothing to do with hiv.

As you have already been told you do not have HIV, you didn't have a risk of contracting HIV and you don't need any further testing.

REREAD AND COMPREHEND THE REPLIES YOU HAVE RECEIVED.

You are worrying needlessly. But you are very quickly going to find yourself getting a Time Out if you continue to return here needlessly when there has been no risk. You need to apply the information which has been given to you as you go forward.

Ann · « **Reply #11 on:** July 27, 2010, 06:07:37 am »

sam,

How many times do you have to be told that you didn't have a risk? You don't need further testing because even if you did have a risk, you've tested conclusively hiv negative.

If you feel unwell or are worried about your eyes, see a doctor and/or an ophthalmologist.

Come back with more of the same and you WILL be given that time out you've been warned about.
If you read the Welcome Thread before posting like you're supposed to, you will have read the following posting guideline:

Quote

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.

Please consider yourself warned!

Hey ann , Rapid rod..

Thanks for your Help n valuable comments...i am not posting again ...This will be my last question

1 will CMIA test after 1 year 2 month ..will be conclusive ... Becoz some site says .. the CMIA test are so sensitive.. but It will look for p24 antigen.... in most of the cases some ppl wont have p24 antigen ( generated by HIV virus in initial period) after 6 months in body/blood

plz forgive me if am wrong...

Ann · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2010, 07:33:39 am »

Sam,

Most people who have actually been infected will no longer have the p24 antigen two to three WEEKS after infection, not six months. And the window period for testing is only three months.

But all of this is irrelevant where you're concerned because you did NOT HAVE A RISK.

I'm giving you that time out you've been warned about. Do not attempt to create a new account to get around your time out because if you do, you will be permanently banned.

We've repeatedly told you that you did not have a risk for hiv infection. You don't need to worry about hiv2 because you weren't at risk for that either. In fact, it is even more difficult to transmit hiv2 than hiv1.

You did not have a risk. You do not need further testing.

If you persist on using this forum to question your no risk incidents and your conclusive negative results, you'll quickly be given a second time out and it will last for 56 days.

PLEASE CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED FOR THE LAST TIME!

You do not have HIV. I do not know how we can explain this any more simply. You were not at risk and your test results are conclusive.

You do not have HIV.
