Hello Dr.
I am female 31. I was in Vegas and put myself in bad situation. I was in teh hotel room with men I just met.i remember eveyrything until I passed out drunk. on a massage table. May be 20 mins? Its blurry. I woke up to a rubbing sound. Eveyone was gone, one guy was jerking off what seemed to me. I did not locate any semon, there was a white spot on my dress. I was engaged. I ran to 2 places to get tested for everything. My concern is hiv. The incident might or might not happened on (the guy and guy were age 34) on 11/16/19 around 8 am. Then i was tested which I know doesnt matter twice same two days. then my friend introduced me prep on Monday night 11/18/19, I ran to emergency room tested again hiv. I begged for pep. took it at 12 pm. I had to beg them to give me. so ti was passed 4 hours 72 mark may be 73-74.  I started pep 11/17/19.                      I tested negative  for hiv on about 2/7/2020, me and my husband started to have kids on 11/1/2020 since that date unprotected. I just got tested on 1/27/2021 all results came out neg besides herpes 1, I am still waiting freaking out about hiv test. they said should be ready next week.  my lyph nodes have been a little swollen, diareh often but have been solid foods. My diet is bad and i am stressing myself out. Do you think 2/7/2020 test is acurate? I am so stressed out. Thank you here is my blood work test so far on cbc. Lymphs (absolute) high 3.9 and ablomin high 4.9. SHould I be freaking out. My eyes has been read. one eye got better, now stereoids drops in the left. Its getting better. I was freaking out and started to think what if that wasnt enough. My lab was preformed at kaiser lab in north cali. Thank you so much

Welcome to our forum. Thank you for your questions. I’ll be happy to provide some guidance. I understand hell finding yourself in the situation you described would be worrisome.I calculate that you completed taking your PEP in late December. If that is the case laboratory testing with an HIV antigen/antibody test at any time more than six weeks after your last dose of PEP will provide definitive and conclusive information on your HIV infection status.  If you started PEP on Nov. 17, then your last dose would have been taken on December 17.  Therefore testing on or after January 28, including your February 7 result will be conclusive.  You can be confident that you did not get HIV from the events that you describe above.  Your results are reliable.

Your other laboratory results listed above are also all in the normal tange.  I see nothing you have mentioned above to raise any concerns about HIV.

I hope this information is helpful.  EWH
