Hello, I understand your concern regarding the injections you received on March 20 at the local clinic and your doubts about the sterility of the syringes used. It's good that you took prompt action by initiating PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) with Viropil within 20 hours, and that you completed the 28-day course properly.
The HIV DUO tests you’ve taken at 26, 35, and 41 days—all being negative—are strong indicators that you are not infected. The 4th generation HIV DUO test is highly reliable after 28 days of exposure, and by 6 weeks or beyond, a negative result is considered conclusive in most cases.
However, for full medical assurance, a final test at 12 weeks (84 days) post-exposure is recommended. This is in line with international guidelines to confirm HIV status conclusively.
You’ve taken the right steps, and the test results so far are very reassuring. Try not to worry, but do complete the 12-week follow-up for peace of mind.
Let me know if you would like advice on where to get the final test or need help with anything else.
