Hiv testing
I need to ask that even if a person is not showing any symptom of hiv does his test tells the true report? Like I had intercourse in December I got tested two times in March and June and both time the test was negative and it was just the screening test so I need to ask is this test reliable or should I be worried about anything. I don't know the name of the test but it gave my results in 30mins so I am worried please suggest what should I do. I don't have any symptoms and the test were negative done after 3 and 6 months. I am really stressed because I am not sure about this 30mins test validity so please clear

Basically you need be sure of your partner's status regarding HIV, it's transmission is by secretions in the act. You've tested twice negative, it's fine, but if your partner's status is also negative, you are in safe zone. If still doubted repeat from accredited Laboratory after consultation.
