As per cdc guidelines, the window period of hiv infection is 18-45 days for the test performed on serum/plasma. The window period of hiv tri dot is 30-60 days & the window period of hcv is 8 to 11 weeks. Hiv tri dot & hcv tri dot are 99% accurate within the defined window period.

Dear lybrate-user, thanks for reaching out since your son's typhidot igm is positive you must get a professional opinion by physical / video consultation with me or any paediatrician at earliest and start antibiotics at recommend dosage and time.
This is because if not treated properly now, he may develop severe complications in adulthood like ulcers in intestinal walls, obstruction of food passage, etc.
Please don't take any such risk.
Take care.

Diagnosis of hiv cannot be made on clinical findings unless the disease is progressed to late stage. I would like to know your history of any exposure so that I could prescribe you the test at the right time. You can text consult me and provide details of your problem.

Please check your blood pressure, since you mention you are hypertensive. Also it may be due to the medicines you have been taking. Dehydration is another possibility.
Please consult so that an evaluation can be done.

If you had protected sex using a condom and your tridot antibody test at 56 days came back negative, it is a good sign. However, the general recommendation for hiv testing is to get tested at 90 days (3 months) after the potential exposure, as this is considered the window period during which the virus can be detected.
The tridot antibody test is sensitive and accurate, but there is still a small chance of a false negative result, especially if you were tested before the window period. Addit...more

Pep must be taken exactly as instructed and for 28 days. Do not skip a dose or fail to complete the full month as this makes it less likely to work. Do not double a dose if you miss one. If you do miss a dose and you remember in less than 24 hours, take the next one as soon as you remember.

I ate chaat by ordering it online. In that I ordered raj kachori. As it is delivered they bought it in a plastic box. The top portion of the box had green chutney and curd. The kachori was in the below portion of the box. I am worried because when I was eating I saw that the bottom of the kachori was reddish and wet on the inside part. So I lifted the kachori but outside is not wet. And as it was delivered the chutneys were given separately. So I am worried what if it was blood that was seen reddish at the bottom? Or is it tamarind chutney? I am not sure. Because as much as I have seen, they put tamarind chutney or other chutneys on top of other ingredients and not at the lowermost surface puri. So I am worried because the whole bottom only on the inside of the puri was reddish. If it was blood from hiv or hep, then can it cause that? I ate that chaat and also I have small mouth sores and also there was little bit blood coming from my gums when brushing. And I also had stomach ulcer little bit a week ago. So can it cause hiv or hep? I am really worried. Because the reddish fluid was there so much. I saw it only after eating most of it. Please reply soon. I am really worried.

As per cdc guidelines ,hiv doesn't transmit via food, water,and saliva in usual cases.
Very rare cases may occur in direct contact with blood of infected person with wound in oral mucosa.
Regarding your concern, I think you shouldn't be worried.
You have negligible chance of infection, if any possibility whatsoever.
