Brief Answer:
Allay fears of HIV.Not needed P24 test
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
VDRL also negative so no need to bother of syphilis.
If the results of Elisa have come negative after about 6 months after the exposure.it is reliable and you can allay the fears of HIV.
P 24 is not needed after the results of elisa have come negative now.It detects presence of antigen p24 at an early stage as early as 3-4 weeks of exposure and may come negative in later stages.
So you can allay fears of HIV.lead a normal life.
You can get back to me for any clarifications.
Thank you
