Dear lybrate-user,
This test is not final. I simply indicates absence of "presence of virus" Negative results may only indicate that the person has been exposed but the infection has not yet developed. If you believe that you have been exposed you should repeat the test.
Regards.

If you have gone through some test and found negative hiv, them you may not required further tests. If still feel like it is urgent them you might be suffering from aids phobia.
The main cause of getting infected from hiv is unprotected sex.
Hiv is a virus that lives in human blood, sexual fluids, and breast milk. It weakens your immune system, so your body has a hard time fighting off common germs, viruses, fungi, and other invaders. Hiv doesn't live in saliva, tears, pee, or sweat -- s...more

Asked for male, 21 years old from Jammu

This is my moms report please I am confused give me solution the test says vivid is negative but it also says some kind of sabicovirus detected what is the conclusion! molecular biology covid-19 rt pcr (qualitative) primary sample type: nasopharyngeal swab e gene (b-βcov) (rt pcr) not detected rdrpgene and n gene (sars-cov-2) (rt pcr) not detected ct value (rdrpgene and n gene) (rt pcr) not applicable conclusion (rt pcr) sample is negative for sars-cov-2 rna remarks. Icmr registration no: rpplpmp the test has been performed at (polo labs pvt. Ltd. Ivy hospital, sector 71, mohali). Clinical utility of the test coronaviruses (cov) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as middle east respiratory syndrome (mers-cov) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars-cov). Sars-cov-2, is the causative agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19). Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome and organ failure. The sars-cov-2 rna is generally detectable in nasopharyngeal / oropharyngeal swabs during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of active infection. This assay is based on real-time pcr technology, for the qualitative detection of cavity-19 viral rna. This real time pcr assay targets both the e-gene (b-βcov) which is recommended as a screening gene to detect the presence of lineage b-betacoronovirus and rdrp/n gene (sars-cov-2), which confirms presence of infection with covid-19. Note: this test is performed using icmr approved kit. Interpretation: sr. No. Result comment 1 both e gene and rdrp and n gene not detected absence of e gene and sars-cov-2 rna indicate no infection with sarbecovirus (b-βcov). 2 e gene detected and rdrp and n gene not detected presence of e gene indicates infection with sarbecovirus (b-βcov) but absence of sars-cov-2 3 both e gene and rdrp and n gene detected both e gene and rdrp and n gene detected page 2 sr. No. Result comment 4 e gene not detected but rdrp and n gene detected presence of sars- cov-2 (n or/and rdrp) specific rna indicates infection with covid-19. 5 internal control not detected inconclusive, rtpcr failure due to possible presence of inhibitors. Repeat sample is requested test attributes and limitations: 1. Samples must be received at the laboratory under appropriate conditions within 48 hrs of collection to ensure preservation of viral rna. 2. Negative result does not rule out the possibility of cavity -19 infection. Presence of inhibitors, mutations & insufficient organism rna can influence the result. False negative results may be seen in samples collected too early or too late in the clinical course of the infection. Kindly refer to the latest icmr guidelines. 3. A single negative test result, particularly if this is from an upper respiratory tract specimen, does not exclude infection. A positive alternate pathogen does not necessarily rule out covid-19 infection, as little is yet known about the role of coinfections. 4. Repeat sampling and testing of lower respiratory specimen is strongly recommended in severe or progressive disease. The repeat specimens may be considered after a gap of 2 - 4 days after the collection of the first specimen for additional testing if required. Patient instructions: 1. Kindly consult referring physician/ authorized govt. Hospital for appropriate follow up. 2. Details of all the positive patients will be communicated to epidemiology cell whom you are requested to support. 3. “positive” status needs to be notified to the appropriate authorities as per the existing rules/regulations, while we shall also be doing the same.

Hello-
pcr assays or other naats are the most sensitive test currently available to detect hsv in clinical samples. The detection rates of the pcr assays were shown to be 11–71% superior to virus culture.

Just relax. Do not worry as your report say you do not have anything serious.
You must be have covid19 which sometimes rtpcr can not catch the virus. It all depends on how the sample was collected and test done. The best lab will give only 97% accurate. So do not be carried away with lab reports. You bettet isolate for another 7 days. Stay hydrated, eat fruits and nuts apart from freshly homemade food. For weakness take tab becoxyme c forte once a day for next 30 days along with cap drise 60...more
