What was the nature of the sexual encounter which led you to be tested?

Raj,

Hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus and it is more difficult to transmit from a woman to a man. You are unlikely to end up positive over a one-time vaginal encounter.

I really doubt that a condom was not used. Sex workers usually insist on condoms - to protect themselves, not you. If a man insists on not using a condom, they will either refuse or charge you a very high price.

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 negative test at six weeks (or more) must be confirmed at the three month point, but is highly unlikely to change.

If you really don't know if a condom was used or not you should test one more time, but as indicated above, your 80 day results are highly unlikely to change.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Your getting stuck in your head with questions is not useful and will not give you the answer you want. And neither the presence nor the absence of symptoms will ever tell you anything accurately about your HIV status.

Only an HIV taken at the right time can give you that answer. Stop this unnecessary worrying and get yourself tested. With the previous negative results you are almost certainly going to test negative.

And in the future you need to avoid clouding your thinking and mixing casual sex with excessive drinking. That's a very dangerous combination.

Good luck with your test.

Your latest test result is conclusive. You are HIV negative.

Why is the value increased??does it indicate that virus multiplying slowly  and it takes more time to get sufficient antibodies(may be at 6 months mark..)..

raj,

The increased value is meaningless. Your test is conclusively hiv negative. You do not have hiv.
