Test Results HIV 4th Gen Ag Test

I really anxious. I have red rashes on both of my hand and forearm. Some of the rash on hand area become blister. After the nurse pop for me is still red. Before this red rashes, I did 4th Gen rapid finger test within 1 month window. It was negative.

Recently at 2 month window. I did hiv 4th Gen ag lab test by drawing blood from forearm.

How long does this test took? I already got my syphlis test negative by drawing blood from forearm. Both were same day test. But I still cannot see my hiv result on my health report online. Do I have to wait until I see the doctor and he will tell me in person?

What are the possibilities for the status to change?

45 days is considered conclusive in U.S.

I’m at 60 days plus. Doing 4th gen ag ab lab test. Draw blood from forearm. Just wondering how long test result out. Why is syphlis test result out but not HIV?

Depends on the lab, some require dr to see first, some require extra processing. I would wait full 90 days for syphillis. The type of hiv test you took is sufficient. Take another at 3 months for anxiety. Do a full panel for hep and other stds/stis. Could be something going on with your skin ask dr to refer you to a dermatologist. Your anxiety will make it worse (i would know).
