Asked for male, 19 years old from Baghpat

I don't know, why nowhere it is mentioned that we can transmit it through saliva, I found the articles always that hiv cannot survive into saliva, people should have complete information, even in the chapter of our class 10th standard, we only read that hiv can be transmiable through unprotected penetrative sex, well my combo test is negative at 51 days post exposure, should I still concern about becoming positive later? I don't have any symptoms now.

It is transferred through blood only mainly because of micro injuries or any source of infected blood contacts.

Unless you are sure of your partners hiv status, there is always risk of 0.1 percentage per exposure that is unprotected.
Best would be to get tested and if you are high risk take post exposure prophylaxis in 72 hours of exposure.

Only way to get infected with hiv is getting in contact with body fluids of infected person.
If both of you are monogamous, and tested negative then you shouldn't get infected.

Best would be to repeat it after 3 months of exposure as three dot test is antibody based and it may not be accurate in early window period.

Asked for male, 19 years old from Baghpat

According to cdc that combo test detect hiv usually 18-45 days that means 45 days is the window period for combo test then why some doctor say to repeat the test at 3 months post exposure.

Dr. Anmol Godara93%(541 ratings)

General Physician•Hisar

Because combo is combination of p24 antigen and antibody test.
Antibody detect accurately after 3 months
p24 can detect early after 3 weeks but it is less sensitive
means there are chances of false negatives
so we advice to repeat after 3 months to avoid false results.

There are two types of htlv tests: the htlv-i/ii antibody test and the htlv-i/ii nucleic acid test (nat). The htlv-i/ii antibody test is the most commonly used test and can detect the presence of htlv antibodies in the blood.
