Answered by Dr. Saumya Mittal (5 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
About window period

Detailed Answer:
Window period is a phase when HIV virus may have infected you. But it has not multiplied sufficiently and has not spread sufficiently to be picked up in the blood tests. Usually this is approximately 1 month

Best of luck

doctor
Answered by Dr. Saumya Mittal (8 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Need details

Detailed Answer:
Hi
yes I think you are safe
However from the query so far, I am not certain why the test was done in the first place.
So my opinion may be biased.
Can you tell me the clinical setting in which the test was done?
Best of luck

I HAVE ATTACHED THE REPORT,DOCTOR PLEASE EXPLAIN MY REPORT IN DETAILS, AS FAR IT IS NON-REACTIVE MEANS NEGATIVE NA?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Saumya Mittal (8 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
clinical background needed

Detailed Answer:
As I said before
the reports means there is no HIV detected
Not the virus
And not the antibodies that the body produces when the infection occurs.

However, even in window period the tests may be negative
To know that, I need to know the clinical background for which the test was done
That is what I asked in my last response

Best of luck
