Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
Eliso test within first three months of exposure have no diagnostic value and it should be repeated again to confirm the negative results.
The current no reactive status confirms that there was no infection upto three months before the test and have no value for 7th and 30 th November exposure.
The presence of muscle pain and rashes also non specific and need to be treated symptomatically. It is again have no confirmation whether it is due to HIV or some other virus.

what are the tests I have to do and also please tell me the duration of tests
Brief Answer:
You can do western blot after two weeks
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
I think there is no role of any test on this date as the exposure was just one day ago.
For undergoing tests with reliable results you can go for western blot after two weeks from the last exposure.
This will help you to make sure that there is no infection.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.
