I am a male and was having vaginal sex with female friend.  If female had HIV she did not know it.  But she is sexually active.   Condom busted and had a good amount of blood on it when i withdrew.  10.5 days after exposure I had two test - HIV RNA and Duo Antigen/Antibody test both booked through an online testing company and testing done at Lab Corp.  Testing company claimed that RNA test is conclusive at 9-11 days.  Both test came back negative.   On day of test I started having some sore throat and feverish feeling but no temperature when tested.   Is my test conclusive at 10.5  days and if not how much confidence should i have in it (%) and when would the RNA test be conclusive?

Welcome to our Forum.  I'll be pleased to comment.  The exposure you describe was relatively low risk.  Relatively few women have HIV and it sounds like you asked her and she said she did not have HIV.  Most people tell the truth when asked directly about their HIV status.  Even is she had HIV, the risk of acquiring HIV following a single exposure of the sort you describe is less than 1 in 1000-2000 (and the presence of blood does not change this).  ---

Thanks for your response.  I have read your comments on other sites and really appreciate your feedback. 

If your headaches have been more severe than what you are accustomed to and continuous, I would discuss them with your doctor.  Headache, accompanied by numerous other symptoms can be part of recently acquired HIV but I sincerely doubt that this is what is going on, both because of the low statistical risk pointed out above but equally importantly because of the lack of other symptoms.  My recommendation for you to see your doctor is NOT  because I am concerned about HIV but because your headaches may be part of some other process.  Clearly I cannot practice medicine over the internet and am not trying to.  If you are feeling poorly you should discuss it with your own doctor who will have a chance to take a more detailed history and examine you.   EWH

Thanks for the response. You had mentioned that finding blood on the busted condom did not increase the risk of getting HIV.  Why is that?  I have read some conflicting information on that.   Also, if my partner had recently acquired HIV but didn't know it how much would that  increase the chances I would get HIV as I understand that is when HIV is more easily transmitted. Thank you. 

Among infected persons the amounts of HIV in blood can be similar to the amount of HIV seen in genital secretions.  Studies that have evaluated blood exposure have not shown that blood exposure is associated with increased risk for infection.---
