Hello Dr.

I have now looked in the laboratory documents regarding my pcr test and it says that the PCR/ RNA test only does Hiv 1, there are also no RNA tests for hiv-2 offered here in my area. Is the 4th generation test after 15 weeks still sufficient for Hiv 1 and 2 and their subtypes? Thank you.

You don't need the RNA result to be 100% certain you do not have HIV2. I've already answered your question about 4th gen tests:  your negative results conclusively prove you have neither HIV1 nor HIV2. All subtypes that exist in the US are detected by the tests you had.

Stay off the web. You're just increasing your own worries by all the nonscientific, unreliable information you are finding. Anyone can write anything they want on the web, and statements of how and where someone was infected, what virus types cause concern, etc is the very worst kind of "evidence" available. If you can't help yourself, at least limit your online searching to professionally run or moderated sites; and avoid sites by and for people with HIV or at risk (like Reddit, for example).

Do not ask again about anything whose answers are obvious in your previous thread. Thank you.

That concludes this thread. I hope your urinary symptoms also are clearing up. Best wishes and stay safe.
