Hello,

I have read carefully your history, and I think that it is good news that you have negative results from PCR and Western Blood tests after 26 days from exposure.

Furthermore, I suggest doing a 4th generation HIV test after 3 months from exposure as a conclusive test. These symptoms could be just a viral situation that antibiotic does not act.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Monika Dede
