not to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
HIV is only transmitted through body fluid only. Without liquid its transmissions is not possible and not reported. There is no exchange of fluid and condom was there. No chance of transmission HIV at all from your history.
You have also undergone very good test which is negative.
Fever is one of the commonest 1st symptoms of HIV. The fever, if it occurs at all, is often accompanied by other usually mild symptoms, such as fatigue, swollen lymph glands, and a sore throat. Other presenting symptom is diarrhea. This is for information.
At present no need to worry at all and continue your life as it is.
In any case if you want check up again you can go for XXXXXXX test at 6 months as it is maximum duration of incubation period for HIV.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

reliable but not sensitive
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for for follow up.
PCR RNA test detects Viral load and is sued in 3 days to 4 weeks after exposure. Negative test confirms that there is no viral load. It comes positive only when high chances of infection or symptoms of HIV.
From your history there is no risk. Still I narrated how you should proceed.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking your doubt.
You read it right. But I wanted to say that it is sensitive only when there is chances of infection is high. Means positive results confirms the infection but negative result does not rule out infection always.
Hope you get it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi yes,
Its sensitivity is higher side up to 4 weeks when possibility of transmission is high.

In conclusion at 11 days RNA PCR is negative means no infection.
