Very strange. Firstly I can't understand why you were doing so many tests. Hiv rna qualitative may be false positive and we do have such cases. It is better that you please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward. Your issues can't be solved in public forum.

No. That is one of the treatment. Combination of three drugs. But that is old one and number if new and better drugs are now available. Please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward. Ideally personal consultation is better and you are not far from mumbai.

You are a fit and essential case for personal consultation. The least you can finish please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward. Also think of other stds. Many are more transmissible than hiv.
