Brief Answer:
Your hiv result is reliable

Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist and venereologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.

A negative screening test for Hiv at 12 weeks or more after sexual contact reliably rules out Hiv.

Toe fungus and folliculitis is otherwise quite commin and does not define Hiv.
