horrible small itchy bumps on body

[khan777]

Hi,


       I am 29 male, i had unprotected exposure on February 15 with sex worker.That is the first exposure in my life. Actually at that time my condom was burst.my doubt is she was intentionally brake my condom.After that i had taken pep for 5 days.
                   after 30 days i had rashes on my chest,hands and back of my body.And i had white tongue for 5 days and tight neck. Iam facing skin infections since my exposure. I never had any skin problems in past of my life.
                   After 3 months i found small red spots on my foot and my hands. It seems very Horrible to me.I am very much scared about these things.

     45 days HIV DNA PCR                        - NEGATIVE
       3 months ELISA                              - NEGATIVE
       3.5 month P24 ANTIGEN DUO TEST     - NEGATIVE
       4 month HIV RNA PCR TEST              -  NEGATIVE

1) Is four month test is conclusive for me?

2) In your experience any person get infection after 3 month window period?Why i am asking this question is here my doctor says if 2 or 3 virus(little quantity) enter into your body. This was taking so much time to Detect. Is it correct?

3) Am i need to take test again at 6 months?

                      Today also i am itchy small bumps on my body. Please suggest me.

Hi Khan . Your 3 HIV test is conclusive , you do not have HIV .

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

hi jeff,

Your test was reliable and you can rest easy that you are HIV negative .

The average time to seroconversion is 22 days. Most who are infected will test positive by 6 weeks. For various reasons a small number will take longer and that is why we follow the CDC recommendation to test at 3 months for a conclusive negative result. You have tested beyond the required window period so you do not have HIV .

Khan,

You are conclusively hiv negative.

You do NOT have hiv.

     45 days HIV DNA PCR                        - NEGATIVE
       3 months ELISA                              - NEGATIVE
       3.5 month P24 ANTIGEN DUO TEST     - NEGATIVE
       4 month HIV RNA PCR TEST              -  NEGATIVE

1) Is four month test is conclusive for me?

Your ELISA test at three months was conclusive. You didn't need the PCR tests and you didn't need the three and a half month test either.

2) In your experience any person get infection after 3 month window period?Why i am asking this question is here my doctor says if 2 or 3 virus(little quantity) enter into your body. This was taking so much time to Detect. Is it correct?

Your doctor doesn't know what he's talking about. I've never seen a six WEEK negative antibody (ELISA) test go on to turn positive at three months.

3) Am i need to take test again at 6 months?

NO. Three months is conclusive.

The vast majority of people who have actually been infected will seroconvert and test positive by six WEEKS, with the average time to seroconversion being only 22 days. A six week negative must be confirmed at the three month point, but is highly unlikely to change.

                      Today also i am itchy small bumps on my body. Please suggest me.

If you're worried about your bumps, show them to a doctor. Whatever is going on has NOTHING to do with hiv - you do NOT have hiv. Just because you never had itchy bumps before doesn't automatically mean you have hiv.

Make sure you read the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use them correctly and avoid breakage. The sex worker didn't break it on purpose - they use condoms to protect themselves, not you. You probably didn't put it on correctly, or you didn't use enough water-based (not oil) lube.

You do NOT have hiv.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv in future as well. It really is that simple!!!
