Had a protected sex with a CSW of unknown HIV status. Worried about HIV/STD infection. I have done an HIV RNA PCR quantitative on 14th day and HIV RNA was not detected. Also performed antigen-antibody combo test on 22nd day and got it negative. Would this ease my tension. Done all STD checks and got result as negative.

Hello. It takes about 3 months to develop antibodies for HIV. So though RNA test can be done earlier, still you must repeat the tests after 3 months.

An hcv antibody test is typically reported as "positive" or "negative, in general, if the hcv antibody test is positive, then the individual tested is infected or has likely been infected at some time with hepatitis c. If the hcv rna test is positive, then the person has a current infection.

Your rna pcr after 21 days was conclusive. Be relax. It detects hiv 1. To rule out hiv 2 please repeat test combo duo after 45 days of exposure.

Abhraka Bhasma (Sataputa: Useful in diabetes and excessive urination. This can be used in several diseases with different adjuncts. DOSAGE: 1g = 4 doses. For excessive heat and dry cough, add equal quantity of sithopaladichurna and use one dose both morning and evening with sugar. But personally I feel allopathy mesicines are best for treating diabates.

Hello. Nucleic acid test like dna or rna are not 1st line test for screening. Pl do not waste your money on doing it. Do 4th gen combo antigen and antibody test after your pep is over and the final one at 90 days after exposure. Thnx.

Carbohydrate: This can be stored in less quantity in the body, so the body is eager to use them immediately. Once the cells have had their fill of glucose, the liver stores some of the excess for distribution between meals should blood glucose levels fall below a certain threshold. If there is leftover glucose beyond what the liver can hold, it can be turned into fat for long-term storage so none is wasted. When carbohydrates are scarce, the body runs mainly on fats. If energy needs exceed those provided by fats in the diet, the body must liquidate some of its fat tissue for energy.

Hello- An equivocal HSV test means that the antibody test did not produce a clear positive or negative result. It means that the test is not conclusive and you have to repeat the test after some time for correct results. HSV is curable but only by Ayurveda treatment. Modern medicines can reduce the viral load but it can lead to recurrence in future.
