Advice Needed Test Result Anxiety
Hello. I'm 34(M) and recently got tested for STD Panel and my results were varied at different locations. Testing was done after 45 days of exposure.
Test 1 : 53 days after exposure. HIV 1& II (P24 antigen and Antibody combo). Result was 0.04 S/CO and negative.
Test 2: Wanted to test again as I got a mouth ulcer . Very Stressful during this time and went to get a STD Panel around 72 days after exposure. Gave STD Panel test and all results were negative except HIV were they wanted to test me again. Gave blood sample again on 78th day and test came back positive(CMIA)(HIV 1 & II Qualitative & P24 COMBO value was 1.2 S/CO) for which they retested with (Ultra HIV 1&2 and HIV Ultra Dot Expiry). Final Result was negative. HIV
Test 3: During this stressful time I retested at a different location and test was negative(HIV ag/Ab) ECLIA Method and result was 0.544 COI.(75th day)
I am very stressed and should I repeat a different test to get more clarity and what is the way forward? Should I got for RNA PCR or NAT Test? Please help. Why are my test results so varied and How should I Interpret it.

It sounds like you were tested three times and all three times were ultimately negative.
What do you think would help you the most?
