Hi! Am vry much worried that I may be infected with hiv because i've had a sexual relationship with a girl whom I didn't know. I've had hiv test in 3 weeks, 3months and 6 months respectively after that sexual act. All the 3 tests were negative and am not having any symptoms as those of hiv. The girl also had herself tested and she was also found negative, but am still worried, I don't know why, may be because am getting married in 2 month. Often ther is a question that crops up in my mind that, may be there is a new type of virus of which am infected with n that's why my tests were negative. Is that thought of mine possible? How are new type of hiv virus discovered? Please :(

Tests And Results
Tests taken after a 3 month duration is 95% conclusive and a test taken after a 6 month duration is 99.9999% conclusive.

An elisa test tests almost all the possible strains of the virus and there needs to be no doubts about the testing. You can be almost sure about your status.

If you are still undoubtful, there is only one possibility which is the pcr dna test. Though not necessary, if this thing goes on in your mind endlessly, you may try that to check the viral load count in your blood. Thats very accurate,

Um, so you were engaged and had sex with someone else that you didn't know?

You shouldn't get married, you're not ready.
