Anxiety Hiv test
I’ve been feeling very anxious about my HIV testing. My exposure in mumbai.Here’s a summary of the tests I’ve done:
1. HIV-1 RNA PCR test at 34 days – Negative
2. HIV-2 RNA PCR test at 34 days – Negative
3. HIV 4th Generation test at 45 days – Non-reactive
4. HIV 4th Generation test at 87 days – Non-reactive
I feel confident that I'm negative for HIV-1, but I’m still a bit unsure about HIV-2. Do I need to wait until 6 months for a conclusive result for HIV-2?

Thank you for sharing the details of your HIV testing. Based on the information you’ve provided — including a negative HIV-1 and HIV-2 RNA PCR at 34 days and non-reactive 4th generation HIV tests at both 45 and 87 days — the results are highly reassuring.
A 4th generation HIV test done at 87 days (around 12 weeks) is generally considered conclusive for both HIV-1 and HIV-2. The chances of HIV-2 being missed at this stage are extremely low, especially considering its rare prevalence in India.
It’s natural to feel anxious after a potential exposure, even with negative test results. However, if your worry is ongoing or affecting your peace of mind, I strongly recommend you book a consultation with me so we can discuss your concerns in more detail and address them appropriately.
Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m here to support you.
