Dear Practo User.
Thanks for sending across your query.
Your HIV CMIA test at 7 weeks post-exposure is highly reliable and reassuring. For complete peace of mind its recommended to consult for any further test and precautions confidently.

For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.

hello Sir
you have done CMIA test after 4 weeks of window period and being negative you are not infected. however do one more serological test at 45 days of exposure and that is final.
please be informed that some drs have written here to take PEP but it is taken within 72 hours of exposure and after that it is absolutely of no use. so don't even think of taking PEP.
Next Steps
there are other STIS which one may get if exposed with unprotected sex with unknown person.
can further advice you if you wish.
Health Tips
In future use protective barrier to avoid getting STIs and not only HIV.

Hello . Since you had a possible exposure on 9th of May now it's 2 months post exposure (approx 8 weeks ) .So better to take 4th generation antigen and antibody test for HIV which will be done as a combo in lal path lab itself ( HIV p24 antigen and HIV 1and 2 Antibodies) . After testing to do again at 3rd month for confirmation and to follow up with that report . Hope it helped you .
