(1) Stand by
Dr. Handsfield statement?
RNA test detects
100% by 3 weeks, ag/ab combo blood test 4 weeks conclusive
(2) Based on
negative tests day 29, is HIV chance 0%, no further testing:
Ag/ab combo blood
test and RNA test
(3) Would symptoms
starting on day 29 change your opinion? Would tests be more accurate a week
after symptoms started?
4) Are the
symptoms below ARS?
Heterosexual
encounter, protected with condom, legal sex worker, condoms counterfeit. Symptoms
started day 29, 1 week: fatigue, serious extremity aches, anorexia, day 30 left

(5) Didn’t
do PEP but curious: For 100% certainty, would you do RNA test and AgAb combo
6 weeks after PEP?
