I am a Heterosexual Male. In 2023, I did the following tests 9 months post potential exposure : Hiv Combo, Chlamydia(urine), Gonorrhea(urine), Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test, all of themnegative 

and after 12 months i did the following test : HIV Combo, Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test - all of them negative as well.

Reading your forum lately I had the following question : 

1)  Does having asymptomatic Ecoli or asymptomatic Hemophilus ducreyi, can affect the reliability of  the test "HIV COMBO " - the one that tests for the HiV 1 and 2 antibodies and P24 antigen for HIV 1? 

2) Does having asymptomatic Ecoli or asymptomatic Hemophilus ducreyi, can affect the reliability of these following tests : Chlamydia(urine), Gonorrhea(urine), Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Your results are entirely reliable and should be believed.  The same result on two separate occasions rules out the possibility of a false negative test and your tests where taken at times when results are entirely conclusive.  BTW, hepatitis C is not realistically sexually transmitted and should not be a concern.

As far of your questions regarding the impact of asymptomatic bacteria, including E. coli and H. ducreyi, results affecting the results of your tests, that is not a concern.  E. coli is a normally found in the ano-genital area and H. ducreyi is extraordinarily rare as Dr. Handfield has mentioned to others in the past.  Further, as part of their development and approval processes, tests are routinely evaluated for any possible interference as part of their development processes.  E. coli and a variety of STIs are part of this testing process.  Thus:

1.  See above - your HIV tests are reliable

2.  Same answer- see above, your tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia hepatitis B and C, and syphilis are also reliable

Your test results are entirely reliable and should be believed.  There is no need for further testing related to the exposure you describe above.  It's time to move forward without concern.  EWH

and 12 months post potential exposure (april 2023) (not 12 months after the first test at 9 months) i did the following test : HIV Combo, Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test - all of them negative as well.

is it what you initially understood ? if not please confirm that your entire reply including both answer 1,2 are unchanged.

Thanks so much 

In December 2022 I did the following tests 9 months post potential exposure : Hiv Combo, Chlamydia(urine), Gonorrhea(urine), Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test, all of them negative 

and 12 months post potential exposure (april 2023) : HIV Combo, Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test - all of them negative as well.

1)  Does having asymptomatic Ecoli or asymptomatic Hemophilus ducreyi, can affect the reliability of  the test "HIV COMBO " - the one that tests for the HiV 1 and 2 antibodies and P24 antigen for HIV 1? 

2) Does having asymptomatic Ecoli or asymptomatic Hemophilus ducreyi, can affect the reliability of these following tests : Chlamydia(urine), Gonorrhea(urine), Hep c, Hep b and syphilis test

A yes or no will do
Appreciate your time and thanking you in advance.

This completes this thread.  EWH

My last follow up question haven’t been answered. I know it’s similar to the ones in the initial post but for reassurance given the corrected dates I would appreciate if you can answer question  1 and 2 by saying yes or no and move on

1. NO

2. No

You need to stop worrying .  Closing this repetitive thread now.  EWH
