Your wife's illness not related to HIV.Repeat test
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
The risk for HIV through just rubbing without penetration is negligible as per CDC XXXXXXX Tridot test will become more conclusive after 12 weeks of the high risk activity.
But the wiser thing done by you is that you had a protected sex with your wife. With protected sex, the chances of your wife getting HIV disease is almost nil, provided the condom was intact throughout the act of intercourse.
Earliest HIV manifestation can occur, if there is any infection, only after 4 weeks and not earlier than this. Your wife's illness 20 days after your contact with her could not be due to HIV. It is an ordinary viral or bacterial fever due to upper respiratory tract infection which any one can contract from the atmosphere or from our neighbors. So you need not worry about your wife's illness and she will recover completely soon.
It is better to repeat the HIV rapid test once again after 90 days and the negative test will relieve your mental tension.

Hi,
Welcome back.
Hugging with bare body or with shirt has no extra risk for HIV.
It is possible to get theTridot result within 5 minutes as per the manufacturer's instruction.
You need not worry about all unauthorized information found on-line. In normal immuno-competent individuals, window period will remain within 3 months only. Those who are on certain immunosuppressive treatment or drugs might have an extended window period. If Tridot negative after 12 weeks, it is a conclusive result and you are HIV-free.

Without any drugs, no change in window period

Hi,
Welcome once again.
Immuno-suppressive drugs include steroids, anti cancer drugs etc. As you are not on any drugs, you can ignore this.
As told already, genital rubbing carries a negligible risk towards HIV.

This can not be predicted in exact percentage.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Medicine is not Mathematics to have a definite answer. There will be a lot of individual variations possible. So only every values put in medicine in ranges.
Antibody against HIV will appear in one's body, in the presence of HIV infection, after 6-8 weeks and may be delayed up to 12 weeks.
This is the fact. You can calculate the answer for your question from this fact. It would be possible to detect antibodies in few people as early as 60 days. But the negative test after 90 days, we can conclusively tell the he is free from HIV.
I hope that you got my point.
