Hi I am 31 , I had a drunken night on October 7 2022 , I wasn’t sure if anything happened, but remember waking up in my car in the morning, I also didn’t see anything unusual around me.. I inspect my car and my paint but didn’t see anything suspicious. Afterwards I couldn’t stop thinking of that night so I took a hiv 4th gen duo test at 20 day post exposure (none reactive), then after I came across some website online where it says it’s on 80-90 percent, then I took another 4th gen duo at 6 week came back (none reactive ) then did a little more research because I was having symptoms, running noise clogged ear and felt slight swollen lymph nodes under my jaw so I got me anxious and when to the ER emergency and got another antigen/antibody at 9.5 weeks blood from vein lab where it was (none reactive ) is my results conclusive? 

Is 3 -6 month needed to be conclusive ,what’s with the 99.7 by 6 weeks . But not 99.9 percent ? I been restraining from have unprotected sex with my wife .for the past 2 and a half month. 

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for your question.  From your description I find myself wondering if you had any sort of exposure at all on Oct. 7.  Irrespective, you have proven that you did not acquire HIV at that time. I'm not sure where you are getting your information.  If it's the internet that would explain the variable recommendations as much of what is found there is incorrect- either out of date, taken out of context or just plain wrong.  Experts are in agreement that results of 4th generation, combination HIV antigen/antibody tests provide entirely conclusive results at 45 days and most experts use 6 weeks (42 days) as their cutoff for conclusive results.  Tests taken at 4 weeks detect about 99% of infections and neither one of us on this forum has ever seen or heard of anyone who had a negative 4th generation test at 4 weeks and went on to become positive unless they had taken anti-HIV drugs following exposure.  ---

Thank you Doctor  , I did not take any sort of prep medications. So you’re saying my results are 100 percent prove I don’t get hiv . 

Your reply is a bit repetitive.  As I told you, at 6 weeks tests for HIV are completely reliable.  i.e. there is no difference in the numbers of cases of recently acquired HIV infections diagnosed at 6 weeks as compared to 3 months- none!!!  Persons suggesting that one needs to take 3 months for definitive results are incorrect and out of date.  ---

Doctor I have a question for the 4th gen antibody test planned Parenthood say’s 3 months , Are  they referring to rapid test only ? This is the website https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/stds-hiv-safer-sex/hiv-aids/should-i-get-tested-hiv I even called there office and the nurse was saying 3 months to be conclusive now I am worried again . What’s the difference from 4 gen antibody vs antigen/antibody test lab work .  I know everywhere it says 4th gen rapid test are 18 to 90 days after exposure. But  antigen/antibody test lab  18 to 45 days after exposure.I also got a test done at 9.5 week lab work ) none reactive 

This will be my final response.  This reply indicates continuing unwarranted anxiety over your low risk exposure.  After this response, this thread will be closed.  Should you return to the site with further repetitive, anxiety-driven questions, your question may be closed without a response or return of your posting fee.  ---
