Can HIV Be Contracted Through Unprotected Oral Sex?
My question is - since my rna and 4 gen test done at 21 days are accurate?What are the chances that the test. Did at 4 week mark will turn positive.
I read out hiv eclipse period and it says that after 10 days there will be enough genetic material in blood for qual rna test to pick up? Is it true?
HIV RNA and 4th generation test are highly reliable and accurate at 21 days
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
The risk of transmission of HIV through unprotected oral sex is very less as compared to unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Apart from this test results for HIV RNA, 4th generation Ag/Ab, Hep B and C, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis are negative at 21 days so don't worry much as the risk is not there.
HIV RNA and 4th generation tests are highly reliable and accurate at 21 days and the chances of result being changed or turn positive are also very less. Also you had truly read that after 10-14 days of infection there is enough genetic material in blood for HIV RNA to pick it up and detect positive. So be relaxed and move ahead in life happily as you are risk free from HIV.
Thank You
