You are worrying needlessly about HIV. You have reliably tested negative for HIV. Actually you only had to test for the one where the condom broke and to do that at 13 weeks after. The second incident where the woman bled but you had a condom on was not risky. Condoms provide very effective protection.

Whatever caused your symptoms or your wife's had nothing to do with HIV. You don't need anymore HIV testing.

If you or your wife still have symptoms that are bothering you that is something to discuss with a doctor. We cannot diagnose symptoms in this setting. But I can tell you that HIV is definitely not the problem.

Thank you sir for your reply, now my wife dont have any symptoms and i had only one that was cold from last 3days but filling little better today. and for my 2nd exposure i am fully protected and i dont seen any blood on my condom. and 2nd exposure was too small, and when i done 8 months test 2 days before for 1st exposure till that time my 2nd exposure also passed 63 days during this test. Should i consider my self safe from HIV? thanks

[Andy Velez]

I am confused by the time frame you are giving for your tests. The important thing is if you have tested negative for the first incident during which the condom broke. Your risk would have been low but still the sensible thing is to have tested. So if you have tested negative at 13 weeks or more after that broken condom incident then you have nothing to worry about in relation to HIV.

The second incident was not a risk and testing was not required.

[sms1825]

Sir, I had tested negative after 8 months for my first incident during which the condom broke... and test method was EIA. thnaks

[sms1825]

Please reply... thanks

SM, I have merged your threads. Please follow our rule and keep all of your entries in this same thread. Don't start new threads for any other comments.

You are HIV negative. You don't have to worry. You have reliably tested negative for the HIV virus.

No more testing is needed.

[sms1825]

Andy Sir, after my last reply what should i consider risk? Thanks

[sms1825]

Thanks for your help...

[Andy Velez]

The only confirmed risks for the sexual transmission of HIV are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. As long as you are always using condoms for those you are well protected.

[sms1825]

Hi, Today i had done my Elisa HIV test for my 2nd exposure and thank god its come back negative. i want to know how conclusive is 84 days HIV test is? because in 3 months there is 91 days (13weeks) by mistake i had done my test one week early in 12 weeks its 84 days. should my test is conclusive or i need re-test my self after a week? thanks

[Andy Velez]

In many countries 12 weeks is used as the testing point. So you can regard your negative result as conclusive and reliable. No further testing is necessary.

You are HIV negative. Period. End of story.

Celebrate that happy conclusion to your concern by always using condoms for vaginal and anal intercourse. No exceptions.

Cheers.

[sms1825]

Sir, I am from India, is 12 weeks is enough for my country, i am asking you this again because someone told me to do test @ 12 weeks and that was conclusive between 84 to 92 days, but some other person had told me that my test result may change within 8 days. is it possible that after 12 week negative test may change in just one week?  who is right? i don't understand & i am confused. thanks

3 months is the worldwide standard for HIV testing. All but a small number of persons who seroconvert do so by the end of the first month. You are reliably HIV negative.

[sms1825]

Andy Velez Sir,

I consider myself safe from HIV after your advice, but 3 things make me worried again...

1) From last 1 month i had dry cough and its not going
2) My mouth, tongue & throat goes white
3) And from yesterday i had infection & burning sensation on top skin of my panes

and sir i want to ask just few more thing to clear my mind...

1) Should any ars symptoms comes after 3 months?
2) symptoms come all together or separately if it's comes? ?
3) if anybody has one or more symptoms and he get tested then should test catch HIV infection?
4) Are my above mention symptoms are sound ARS symptoms?

i also shown to ENT doctor also and she told me its because of smoking and didnt tell her about my exposure and i started continue smoking from this Jan 2010... before that i smoke very rare. for this reason only i stated worried about whiteness in mouth & ect...

Dear Andy Velez Sir i am waiting for your reply... Thanks

[Andy Velez]

You have conclusively tested negative for HIV. You ARE HIV negative. Period. End of story.

Get on with your life and just make sure that if you have relations again outside of your relationship that you are always wearing a condom for either vaginal or anal intercourse.

There's really nothing more for us to say to you here.

Good luck to you. HIV is not your problem. Get on with your life.

[sms1825]

Thank you very much for your valuable reply, I accept your advice and again I move on with my life just reply me for one more question are you find my symptoms as ars symptoms. Thanks

[sms1825]

 please reply me for my last post... Thanks

[Andy Velez]

Your symptoms are not in anyway ARS or HIV-specific. But then you didn't have a risk.

And even if you had a risk, which I repeat that you did not, neither the presence nor the absence of symptoms will ever tell you anything accurately about your HIV status. If you had a risk, only an HIV test at the proper time (13 weeks) would give you a reliable answer.

If you continue to return about this non-risk situation you are going to find yourself getting a 28 day Time Out from the site. HIV is not an issue for you.

[sms1825]

Thanks a lot for helping me... I think 12 weeks & 13 weeks test never make any difference... Thank you once again 

[Andy Velez]

You're welcome.

Sorry next time i will not start new post but this time pls solve my this problem. thanks

I've merged your threads here. Please follow our rule in the future and keep all of your entries in this same thread.

You are worrying needlessly. You had a low level risk when your condom broke. Your many negative results confirmed that you are HIV negative. And it is not necessary to test for more than 3 months after a risky incident. So you are unquestionably HIV negative.

Whatever is going on with your rash and any other symptoms has nothing to do with HIV. Consult with your doctor or a dermatologist to find out what the problem is. For sure it iis not HIV.  

You have come here many times about this problem when you had already conclusively tested negative. We're not going to begin another round of worries and what ifs about your status. If you continue to return when we know you're HIV negative you need to know that you will find yourself getting a Time Out from the site. HIV is not your problem. Period.

sms,

You need to get a grip. You've tested conclusively hiv negative. You've been told this. But yet earlier today, you tried for a new account, presumably because you were told you'd be given a time out. And don't give me any bullshit about forgetting your password etc, because I know full well you logged into your existing account before you tried for a new one.

You're hiv negative. Now eff off and get on with your life. Or be banned from this website. It's your choice.

Ann
