Brief Answer:
No further testing is required.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

Body massage and handjob are no risk activities for HIV. 4th generation HIV test after 3.5 months is absolutely accurate and 100% conclusive because the window period also varies upto 3 months so no need to go for any further test for HIV.

The most common cause of high eosinophil count is allergy so don't get worried as it is not related to HIV in any way. Forget about the incidence and go on in life happily. Consider counselling services if required with the help of psychiatrist.

The more you think, the more you get confused or feared so just calm down your self and forget what had happened. For any further query you can write to me any time and I am here to help you always.

Thank You

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

All are saying truely that it is not possible to be HIV infected through hand job and you are not infected at all. Tongue sores can be due to many diseases not only HIV so consult your physician to isolate its cause and follow the treatment regime. Allay fear of HIV as you are absolutely safe and risk free.

Dear XXXXXXX

The window period for HIV is up to 3 months so no need to go for repeat testing as any HIV test after this period is 100% conclusive. The weight change may be due to some technical reason nothing else so don't get worried and move on in life happily.

Sir as I told am having high eosinophilis count and from 2days am getting headache and throat pain and difficulty in breathing. Is this related to HIV or other problems. Again yrstarday I tested for rapid method got non reactive. Sir can I get HIV fron hugging and genital touching.

All these symptons are related to allergies or sinus.

It is not related to HIV.

You can not get HIV from hugging and touching of genitals so don't get feared. High eosinophil count and other symptoms are due to allergy or sinus so consult ENT specialist to isolate the cause, follow the treatment regime as per the advice.
