What Do These Test Results For HIV Indicate?
Question: Dear Dr.
i had been to thailand on 24-7-15, i had been to a massage parlour in inebriate condition, but i suerly remember my actions, i fingered the girls vagina, and later had her wash her hands, then i washed my hands and then had a hand job from her.
On a earlier day i had a soapy massage, body to body, and then had a bath and later a handjob without condom from that girl.
On 20-8-15 i has a few pimples on my arms and chest. So i visited a Skin Specialist on 8-9-15he gave me medicines ( Accuretz and Dazit ) for pimples, After 15 days on 20-9-15 i has a swollen palate (roof of mouth), so he gave me a steroid medicine for it. I had a lot of stress because of fear, so he also gave me Spectra 10 so as to calm my mind. On 14-10-15 when my PCR reports came my
swollen palate ahd reduced but not gone completely

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had gone for Western Blot test for HIV 1 and 2 after 35 days of exposure than antibody test for HIV 1 and 2 after 62 and 75 days of exposure by determine and tridot method and finally HIV 1 PCR test after 82 days post exposure than you need not to go for any further test as you are risk free.
As far as pimples and swollen palate is concerned it is due to some other reason not related to HIV so continue medicines as precribed by your doctor for the same. Don't worry about HIV as you are safe. Be relaxed and move ahead in life happily.
Thank You

Brief Answer:
If antibody test is negative after 3 month than you are free from HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
First of all, if the antibody test is negative after 3 months than you are free from HIV.
Regarding your queries, the activities you did are less risky in nature. The steroids medicines have no effect on HIV test result. For other STDs, you can go for VDRL and RPR tests.
From your current antibody result it is clear that you are free from HIV. You can have normal relations with your wife. If you had done RNA PCR after one month earlier than it would be conclusive and your anxiety and stress will be relieved earlier.
