Effect of strong IMMUNE SYSTEM on HIV RAPID TESTS.

Resolved Question:

Dear Doctor.
First of all i want to thank you for the amazing site you have here to assist people and help.
My STORY is i Had one unprotected sex with a woman unknown HIV status in 05 March 2015 and since that time i have not any sex with any woman its 100 days now, as am so so worry since and i really tired from thinking too much in this even not sleeping well, i got many HIV FINGER PRICK RAPID TEST from many manufacturers and i use to make tests almost weekly with 3 or 4 different rapid tests and it was all negative, one friend told me i should wait 3 months which i did and yesterday was 100 days and i did four rapid finger prick tests and all was negative i think no one can notice it or maybe , my question is am i ok now? i should not worry again , is the finger prick rapid test good or reliable enough to give you good results after 100 months ? should I go for other tests again
By the way I have very strong immune system and healthy, what does that mean ? delay the positive repulses or make it faster
Thank you very much and i appreciate your fast answer
Sorry for my bad English I wish u will get my point
Best Regards

Anthony

Hello,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Thank you very much for your feedback, we appreciate the fact that you find this platform useful. We are committed providing a quality patient care through this.
I have gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety. I assure you that rapid tests for HIV are pretty accurate (more than 99% accuracy). In most cases, these tests detect antibodies against HIV virus within 3 to 4 weeks of infections. As you have taken tests after 100 days you don't need any further tests. You are negative for HIV virus. Hope that was helpful. Feel free to discuss further.
Thank you


Patient replied :

Dear doctor. Thanks for the prompt reply I appreciate it Just one think I forgot to mention in my previous query, Yesterday one of the tests among the four I did gave me a very very faint white line on T it's not even red or maybe I was imagining not real I don't know!! But I repeated immediately with the same manufacture rapid test I tested twise and did not see that faint line
With my best Regards Thanks again


As the other tests are negative there is nothing to worry. For you own assurance, I advise you to take standard HIV test done by a health care provider. A single test is enough.


Patient replied :

Doctor , sorry if am asking much same things but just last question , do u advice me to take standard test done by health care becuase i told u about the faint white line or becuae of my anxiety? again am i in a good situation

Thanks you very much


Hello,
I am sorry for the confusion. I told you to take the test for your own assurance otherwise it is not necessary.
Thanks
