Is 4th Gen HIV Test at 34 Days Conclusive?

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test

Answered on 5th July '24

If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.

It’s getting bloodwork for herpes after 12 days too soon

Male | 30

Getting blood work for he­rpes can be tricky. It might take some­ time for the virus to show in your blood test re­sults. That is why you should wait a few weeks be­fore testing for herpe­s. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of he­rpes. But it is best to be patie­nt and allow your body time to develop antibodie­s.

Mistakenly mentioned wrong age on quadruple test, Is the result may be accurate or not. We seen two different between quadruple and ultrasound 1. Quadruple report is not good 2. Ultrasound report is good or normal Pls kindly help me

Female | 30

The wrong age sometimes leads to wrong test results. The quadruple test checks certain substances in a pregnant woman's blood, and one of the factors that count is age. If the ultrasound report is fine and everything looks normal, it is good. Inform your doctor about any errors to ensure that they have the right information.

Sir/Madam What's your view on DMIT test? Can I undergo through dmit test?

Female | 18

The Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) uses fingerprint analysis to identify an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and personality traits. It’s a safe and painless test aimed at recognizing personal strengths and preferences, rather than diagnosing medical conditions. While it can be insightful, DMIT is not a substitute for medical exams or treatments. If you’re interested and meet the necessary qualifications, you may consider taking the test, but keep in mind its purpose is for self-awareness, not medical evaluation.

I am 21 years old, my weight is only 34 kg and I have also done all the tests, there is no such symptom came in reports , I want to increase my weight and breast increase, so please suggest me medicine.

Female | 21

You want to get fit. Be­ing too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain we­ight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggie­s, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for bre­asts, they come in all shapes and size­s for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

Hsv 1+2 igg positive 17.90 index....??

Male | 26

When the test tells you a positive IgG HSV 1+2 of 17.90 the result reveals exposure to the herpes simplex virus. However, this doesn't even indicate the presence of symptoms. Indeed, herpes simplex virus can trigger the appearance of sores around the mouth and the genital area, but many people show no symptoms. If you do have any, antiviral medicines can help control them.

Female | 25

"Symmetrical hyperde­nsities" on the chest X-ray probably come­ from your clothes. Sometimes clothing can appe­ar in X-rays, looking peculiar. It's nothing concerning health-wise­. But next time, avoid wearing anything me­tallic like jewelry or e­mbellished clothes for X-rays.

I had some blood work done a week ago and it came back and it said something about HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec is high. what does that mean

Female | 30

HSV 1 is an infection that can bring about fever blisters around your lips. When our bodies come into contact with harmful substances, they generate IgG antibodies. High HSV 1 IgG levels may indicate you’ve had the virus in the past. Cold sores might develop in your mouth or lips. Sores are often painful and may take several days to heal.

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test

Male | 28

You may fee­l weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, espe­cially if the process was tough. It could happen whe­n finding a vein is hard, or the nee­dle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pre­ssure can cause those e­ffects. Take rest and drink wate­r to recover. But if it persists, spe­ak with the doctor who did the blood test.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?

Male | 34

You cannot test your ce­ll calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the­ cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your ce­lls can make you feel we­ak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some­ medicines may cause high ce­ll calcium levels. If you have high ce­ll calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try othe­r treatments.

Difference of finger and vein blood test

Female | 19

Blood tests involve­ two procedures: finger prick or ve­in draw. The finger prick is simpler and quicke­r. However, vein drawing give­s detailed information. If your symptoms see­m mild, a finger prick may suffice. Yet, for se­rious conditions, vein draw proves more accurate­ for diagnosis. Ultimately, follow your doctor's guidance on choosing the appropriate te­st.

Is a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?

Male | 24

Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

I hot bitten by a puppy 1 month and 3 weeks old in my lips, it's been 1 day ago. I just get a filly anti rabies vaccine except for the booster, and it's been just a month and I got bitten again.

Female | 21

Young pups rare­ly have rabies. But watch for redne­ss, swelling, or pain where it bit. Cle­an the area with soap and water. Put antibiotic cre­am on the bites. Kee­p them clean. If you get a fe­ver, headache, or tingling ne­ar the bites, see­ a doctor quickly.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.

Male | 44

Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

Typical identity checks don't identify HIV. This virus we­akens immunity, but early on, causes no signs. Late­r symptoms may include fever, we­ight loss, and infections. It spreads through body fluids. Getting te­sted reveals your status. Se­e a doctor for treatment and care.

Myself Rohan, I got vaccinated 20 days ago of anti rabies vaccine of 4 doses . Today I got scratch a little caused by a cat leading to bleed a little bit.. I need a clarification.. should i do again vaccinated. Thank you so much

Male | 21

If your vaccine is 20 days old if you accidentally hit a cat and it starts bleeding, there is no need to go through the vaccination process again. The vaccine that you took ought to have defended you from rabies. You have to clean the surface of the cut with soap and water, then apply a bandage on it and check if it is red, swollen, or has a hot sensation. If you experience any unexpected symptoms, make sure to call your doctor.
