Question:

Dear Doctor,

My ALL NEGATIVE testing history is as below:

• Negative Discreet at 13 days
• Negative Determine and Capillus at 3 months 2 weeks
• Negative HIV Spot and Double Elisa at 3 months 3 weeks
• Negative Elisa(by blood donation) at 4 months 1 week
• Negative PCR DNA at 4 months 2 weeks
• Negative WB at 4 months 2 weeks
• Negative HIV Spot and Double Elisa at 6 months 2 days
• Negative Capillus & Determine at 6 months 2 days
• Negative Capillus & Determine at 7.50 months.

This is my risk:
On May16 '03 had " Protected" sex with a CSW in Hungary. The CSW put the condom on my penis and bit the tip of my prepuce with the condom on. She gave me oral sex after rolling on the condom on to my penis. We had "protected" vaginal sex with the bitten condom. The next day I saw 2 bite marks at the place where she bit. These marks disappeared quickly and after that i had all symptoms associated with ARS and was a nervous wreck.

Dear Doc, am I in the clear?
Kindly reply...

Yes, yes, yes you ARE in the clear! You have had multiple negative tests after a relatively low risk exposure. So you can put your mind entirely at rest: nothing to worry about, you are HIV-uninfected. Stay healthy!
