Is HIV CMIA Test Done 4 Months After Possible Exposure Conclusive?
Question: Dear Doctor,
4.5 Months back on 2nd May I went for a Party. One new friend has offered a glass of Drink. It was red color drink and he said it's special drink.
1. Later one thought came in my mind that he must have mixed some blood in my drink as Drink is of Red colored.
2. To rule out the possibilities I have tested myself with HIV-DUO Serum by CMIA (4th generation) after 4 month and it's came back Non Reactive with Index value 0.33 and same test after 4.5 months Non Reactive with Index value 0.35
My question is
I am bit confused with Index value and not sure about the significance of these values and why the index value is increased?
Do I need to get tested again and can point 1 above could be cause of concern.
Can HIV transmitted in this manner. I am not able to concentrate and it is bothering me like anything.
Kindly Help

Dear Doctor,
I have tested myself with HIV-DUO Serum by CMIA (4th generation) after 4.5 month of described instance in below point 1 with Result as Non Reactive
1. Later one thought came in my mind that he must have mixed some blood in my drink as Drink is of Red colored.
Do I need to test it again????
Possibility of HIV transmission through this way is very unlikely.
So you mean to say that it is possible. What I Heard that HIV Virus cannot leave in other medium other than it's leaving host.
Kindly clear my doubt as I am not able to move forward
