Problem dis: unprotected oral( deep kissing , blow job ) with 2-3 csw followed by protected varginal intercourse in 3 consecutive days 5 months back( i was quite drunk so not able to check condom status post intercourse).

So far symptoms in 5 months
- soar throat, mild pain in multiple body places. Shortness of breath and mild headache and mild sweating.
Than after all this mentAl trauma , i have decided to go for hiv test and here is the results shared before.
Still i am scared of if i have hiv and not showing aftwr 3 month results and why in pcr its stated <72 ul/ml. As per lab 72 is the starting limit of assey.
I have Tsh problem from last 6-7 years abs its a family medical problem.for that i am taking 100 mg tablet daily. Still i am worried of my status and having below queries:
1- why i am feeling very fatique and blurr vision intermittently after 5 months?
2- Do i need to retest at 6 month mark or all my 3 months test are conclusive?
3- does Pcr rna quantitative result <72 considered as negative test along with elisa 1-2 negative antibody test is conclusive at 87 days. in 3 month start of infection what would the viral load UD.
4- before this incident , i was a complete healty guy with hyperthroiad issue , does this immouo deficient issue impact my hiv test or not?
5- can it be possible to have no symptoms and person infected with hiv till 5 months and negative results.
Please suggest.

Brief Answer:
HIV negative.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
There is risk of transmission of HIV by the modes described. But the CSWs may be negative for HIV too.
The antibodies tests after 3 months exposure is conclusive,provided there is no further risk exposure.
The symptoms are non specific. They may not be related to HIV.They can occur due to stress or anxiety or due to thyroid problems.It does not indicate HIV.HIV is diagnosed by tests only.
HIV PCR is sensitive after 10 days .It is also negative. The cut off used by the test done is 72 copies per ml.There are more sensitive PCR tests which can detect as less as 20 copies per ml. As antibodies tests are negative you need not worry.Both tests are negative. You can allay fears of HIV. There is no need for further HIV tests.
Thyroid state does not affect test results.
HIV can remain asymptomatic for a long period , but can be detected by tests even if asymptomatic.
The uric acid levels are slightly high ,may be due to alcohol Intake or thyroid problems.
You relax.Do yoga, meditation. Consult physician for further management if symptoms do not subside.
You can get back for any clarification.

Dear doctor,
This is my last follow up question on this topic and would like to share some more important facts:
Due to extrean guilt of what i have done(paid sex3-4 time in my last trip) with extream booze with friends, i quit drinking and smoking ( cold turkey) 5 months back( sept 6,2015).
- Was smoking and drinking from last 15 years (3-4 cig/day).
- after this incident I had no further exposure , only protected intercourse 5-6 times with my wife with our failthul relationship( hope this is considered safe with respect to tests).
- This was my first and last mistake and i have learned my lesson well.
-i am very much worried of major 4-5 symptoms ( discomfort in breething (sometimes) , burning mouth and tonge , blurr vision ( weak vision) and pain in neck , arms , legs ( mild , coming and going), mild headache ( from last 4 months).
- i am still fearing to go for unprotected sex with my wife due to these on going symptoms.
- Is there any minor posibility of i need to worry for hiv or to retest.
- I have consulted only internal medicine doctors ( in XXXXXXX , appollo and FORTIS IN Delhi) , do i need to consult any infectecious disease doctor as well.
- I dont want to test now after 5 months of exposure, and scared of any other surprising results.
- what would be the cause of these coming and going weekness , dizziness , head swings and respiratory problems( does SOB related to anxiety or quit smoking if not hiv related).
- how to assaured myself that , i have long healthy life and i am completely out of this danger feelings and physical issues.
- Is the hiv antibody elisa and Pcr rna quantitative ( negative ) at 3 months are considered similar as duo test and 100% conclusive in medical terms.
- this 3 month window period is common for all kind of posible exposures(protected , unprotected oral etc)
Important point- I never had any medical problems in my life ( not even viral fevers ( once in year) except hyperthyroid and vitamin D and B12 deficiency).
