Am I Safe After Negative 45th-Day HIV Tests?

I done tested hiv duo combo on 30th day it's negative with value 0.13. Then I test hiv 1&2 Elisa (Antibody only) on 45th day it's also negative with value of 0.19. Am is safe? Is 45th day 3rd gen Elisa test is reliable?

1 Answer

Answered on 7th Oct '24

According to your test results, it is very encouraging that both the HIV combo and Elisa tests were negative. The 3rd-generation Elisa test is reliable and fairly accurate in detecting HIV antibodies on the 45th day. Don't forget HIV symptoms can be different; however, the most common ones are flu-like symptoms, rash, and fatigue.

My hemoglobin report 8.2 and my esr 125

Male | 37

According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

Female | 23

The risk of HIV transmission from a speculum is extremely low. The risk is even lower if the speculum was not used for more than two hours prior to the Pap test. If you are still concerned, please speak with your healthcare provider.

I'm depressed that is I'm hiv positive pls help me

Male | 19

If you have recently been diagnosed with HIV, it is quite normal to feel low. Symptoms of HIV include fever, sore throat, and being more tired than usual. The virus makes the immune system weaker, so the body cannot fight infections easily. Always, keep the thought in your mind that HIV is treatable with the help of medications. Medicines can indeed assist you in leading a healthy life. Discuss with your doctor initiating medication and going to support groups.

I want to ask about how can hiv be transmitted

Male | 22

HIV is a virus that might be passed from one person to another via specific body fluids such as blood, sex organs secretions, the fluid of the vagina, as well as breast milk. It is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual activity, sharing of needles as well as mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Symptoms may not appear for some time but can manifest as flu-like sickness. Wearing condoms and not sharing needles are the biggest ways to fight HIV. If you are worried about it, it is wise to get tested.

Good day doc, I noticed some traces of blood in my mucur. What could be the possible cause and solution

Male | 29

When you find some blood in mucus, it can indicate several ailments. Possible reasons could be a nosebleed, irritation by dry air, or an infection such as sinusitis. If you are facing a runny nose, pain in your face, or a sore throat, that could be a sign of an infection. Drinking a lot of water, using a humidifier, and visiting a doctor if it persists are the ways to go.

What if iron readings are normal except % transferring saturation - 12% and result shows disease Ferritin transferring TIBC Iron. Hb - 11 for female

Female | 32

This may suggest that your body lacks iron. With insufficient iron levels, tiredness, weakness, and dizziness may be felt. In women, it could lead to low hemoglobin levels (Hb - 11) thus giving rise to anemia. You are, therefore, required to include foods high in iron such as red meat, beans, and leafy greens in your diet to enhance your iron levels. Further advice may necessitate taking iron supplements based on the orders made by your doctor. Also, there should be regular check-ups so that suitable directions are provided and tracking done.

i am 29 years old , recently i took blood test in that my esr level is 50 , is it bad?

Female | 29

An ESR reading of 50 might mean there is some kind of inflammation in the body. Possible infections, autoimmune diseases, or even a few cancers can be the cause of this. Typical symptoms of inflammation include fever, fatigue, and aching of the body. To handle this, it is necessary to identify the main reason by doing other tests and talking to a doctor.

Female | 21

Alpha thalassemia major can be present in a patient who does not require blood transfusions. This form of the disorder can result in severe anemia, although it affects people differently. Some individuals may not need a transfusion at all. Signs and symptoms of alpha thalassemia may include fatigue, weakness, or paleness of skin. Treatment may consist of symptom management such as taking supplements or drugs that stimulate the production of more red blood cells within the body. Please consult a doctor for individualized advice.

Dear Doctor, Due to my father's high blood viscosity, suspicion of polycythemia arises, necessitating blood draws every 3 weeks to maintain appropriate levels. At 69 years old, he experiences symptoms such as skin itching, swelling, head numbness, and fatigue. Currently, his JAK2 V617F mutation showed 0.8 then 1.2%, with JAK2 exon 12 negative and EPO at 13.4. Abdominal CT and chest X-ray are normal. After a few months of phlebotomy, his levels normalized. Now, we await the bone marrow biopsy results, which do not confirm Polycythemia Vera: "Microscopic description: The bone marrow biopsy sample shows somewhat hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma relative to age, which is terminally mature. Myeloid ratio is 2:1 with dominance of late precursors; no blast cells are noted. The number of megakaryocytes is normal with no clustering. There is no interstitial fibrosis or lymphoid infiltrate. Diagnosis: Mature, hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma without myeloproliferative features. Cytogenetic analysis confirmed male karyotype; no clonal chromosomal abnormalities detected. Indication for examination D7510 Secondary polycythemia Note Submicroscopic rearrangements, small structural chromosomal aberrations, DNA-level differences cannot be ruled out with the method used." I am quite confused as JAK2 positivity typically suggests PV, yet the biopsy suggests otherwise, possibly indicating secondary polycythemia. Could you please clarify based on this information what you personally think is more likely, Polycythemia Vera or another secondary cause? Thank you very much for your help.

Male | 67

Your father's symptoms and test results do suggest some complexity. The presence of JAK2 mutation often points towards Polycythemia Vera (PV), but the bone marrow biopsy does not show typical myeloproliferative features, suggesting it might be secondary polycythemia instead. Consult a hematologist, specializing in blood disorders, and can provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

What is aids Can you explain how hiv falls in anyone

Male | 20

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It's a severe condition that is unable to be healed, which is caused by a virus called HIV. HIV, which is the root of AIDS, weakens the human immune system. It is for this reason that the body can not ward off infections. Among the many symptoms of AIDS, the main ones include rapid weight loss, frequent fevers, and extreme tiredness. The most preferable treatment option is to explain HIV through the use of protection drugs during intimacy and not to use needles.  Early screening and taking the required medications could help manage the virus.

Fever for such a long time can be worrying. The PET scan came back normal and this is fantastic news. The next step could be to revisit your doctor to explore other reasons for your fever. Staying well-hydrated with proper sleep is strictly necessary. Seek medical advice promptly for further evaluation.

Male | 20

Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

Male | 53

A swelling in your ne­ck could come from different cause­s - not cancer alone. Infections or othe­r issues might make it happen. Cance­r wouldn't be the only re­ason for neck swelling. Along with a lump, feve­r, cough, and weight loss would occur if it were cance­r. It's wise to let a doctor examine­ you thoroughly and pinpoint the trigger behind the­ swelling.
