I showed zero symptoms for 10 years...most people show no symptoms until HIV turns to AIDS...you didn't wait long enough.It takes a 3 to 6 month wait after possible exposure to get an accurate reading...

I understand that regarding an antibody test, but I got a HIV RNA/DNA test which tests FOR the virus copy amount in the blood. This test is supposed to be pretty accurate regarding testing the VIRUS in the body. Not the anitibodies. Anyone have insight?

I don't but hopefully someone will ...I am curious now...

let me know if you get an answer, I had a rna test done and the result was less than 48 copies.. whatever the hell that means. Im pregnant and really need to know wether Im hiv or not

The RNA by PCR is conclusive after 28 days post exposure IF the test was performed correctly and IF the person getting tested is not a "non progressor" or "elite controller" of the virus. The virus multiplies rapidly after infection into the thousands and then tends to have a slow and gradual decline afterwords. "Non progressor" and "elite controllers" are rare people who have the ability to control the virus without any treatment.

I have been RNA negative for 15 years now. I had my three children.. thank God they are all negative, I took the medications while pregnant and after they were born they were given some medications also for six months. I am still RNA negative now. tell me am I HIV negative or positive?? I am so confused!!
