Conclusion of that test is negative
but it s not saying you are negative. Westernblot test can not use as screening test. Use of westernblot test is to confirm any other already positive test.

Hi,
You had not mentioned when you did the test? Non-reactive means the test was not able to detect any HIV antibodies. As per the test guidelines, HIV test results are after 3 months of post exposure.

Viruses such as HIV and hepatitis are carried in the blood and, in theory, could be transmitted through tank water if someone with a cut or abrasion were to use a tank containing traces of blood from an infected person with cuts.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. I can understand. HIV spread through Contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative partner. HIV is not spread through saliva. Take care.

I am a 23 year old male, and I did a protected vaginal sex with a old prostitute in Delhi, the intercourse lasted for 3 to 4 min. After 40 days I got sore throat, high fever, and lower back joint pain which was very severe, and overall weakness, and few pimples on the neck, my doctor given me augmenting620 mg an antibiotic and Dolo and pain killer, after 3 to 4 days of medication the everything gone except the sore throat, and I noted white patches on my both tonsils and went to ENT specialist where he did throat swab .culture test which came back positive for streptococcus pneumoniae, and the doctor said to continue the same antibiotic. Then within two days that also gone. And I felt well. And the doctor prescribed other type of antibiotics as a follow up. But I didn't took it. And now I am spitting white sputum and having pain in thoracic spine. And little chest pain. No cough nothing. I posted this question in this forum but did not got the prompt responses from any one. Please read it carefully and answer to my queries. I am going through big stress and anxiety. The condom was intact throughout the intercourse and it seemed well, is it possible that I am infected with HIV? Does my symptoms are due to Bacterial infection or HIV infection. Is there any chance that the condom had hole in it, and I didn't noticed. And moreover how come it's possible for a healthy young adult to get infected with strep pneumoniae which is common in small children and old people. Please answer this. I am convinced myself that I have HIV. And fearing to get tested.

Though it doesn't seem to be related to HIV, you do have health problems, needing personal consultation. In the meanwhile take a private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly. May be I am refer you to an appropriate consultant in Delhi itself.

Hiv incubation period is 2-10 years. And it slowly destroys the organs by inviting other organisms to the patient. It decrease the immunity of the person. If the patient is taking proper treatment life span is good enough. As you asked at 29 of age patient with medicine can live till 50 years or more.
