Question: When was your last episode of unprotected vaginal or anal sex with your sex partner?
Weekly. Monogamous.
One other female contact 16 months ago I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal but condom broke stopped intercourse when it broke. Tested Neg for HIV and HIV DNA one week later not tested since -her status: stated she was negative
If you had sex with her recently then you will have to wait until 3 months after your last unprotected vaginal or anal sex as there is the possibility that you could be seroconverting. However, most indeterminate WBs resolve negative and you are not in a high risk category. In sorting this out it would help if you could get your partner tested or use the OTC Oraquick test for her. If your partner tests negative then your chances of having HIV would be zero unless she has been unfaithful.
Edit: If you were infected from the condom break incident you would have almost certainly tested positive by now.
Their is little point testing until 4 but more so 6 weeks with an antibody test. You have made 3 mistakes already which have put you in this postion.
1. Testing to early. Hence the incorrect test results
2. The wrong type of test. Hence the incorrect results.
3. Over testing.
So all you need to do is test at 6 and 12 weeks with an antibody test and the later will confirm your status. A dna test is the wrong type to take anyway, it cannot confirm your status and it also has a higher rate of false positives.
Just to add.
If you have been with the same partner for 14 months and neither of you have had unprotected sex with anyone else in the last 3 months, then a simple antibody test now will be fine or if she takes one and is negative then you have nothing to worry about.

Just to clarify the HIV test was part of a group of tests like CBC Chem PSA etc All of which were normal except the HIV)and was included because of recommended universal testing as opposed to some specific issue. I had a repeatedly positive ELISA and then the tests listed. There is also an HIV 2 test pending.
Can you clarify what you mean by an antibody test? Is there a specific name?
Here is exactly what I got right off the lab report.
I told her I had an indeterminate Western Blot. I mentioned the repeatedly reactive ELISA because that is what I thought the comment referred to. Maybe I'm wrong.
Component Results
Component Value Range & Units Status
HIV-1, WESTERN BLOT Indeterminate (A) Final
Comment:
In conjunction with a Repeatedly Reactive HIV-1/2
screening test, this result may represent an incomplete
HIV antibody response or a nonspecific reactivity.
Patients with a Repeatedly Reactive HIV 1/2 screening
test and an initial Indeterminate HIV-1 Western Blot
should be retested for HIV 1/2 infection at least one
month later. HIV-1 RNA testing on a new plasma sample
by the HIV-1 RNA Qualitative TMA (use code 16185X) may
detect viral nucleic acid prior to seroconversion.

Yes you are incorrect, you never took that test, only a wb, which is NOT a postive result.
Look, to help you, you need to answer certain questions.
1. Has you or your partner had unprotected sex with anyone else in the last 3 months.
2. Has she taken a hiv test?
3. Why are you now testing, whats the reason?

Neither of us has had unprotected sex with anyone else in the last 3 months
She has not been tested for HIV
The HIV test was recommended for me as part of new recommendations for universal testing. It was added onto my PSA test and other routine labs which I got for a family history of prostate cancer. In other words I came in to get the PSA and got these other tests in addition at their recommendation.
Well the best way to resolve this is for you BOTH to take a simple antibody test, either a rapid test or a standard antibody test.
Now if she comes out negative then its quite clear this is just a "blip" in test results. Its quite common and you will see many threads here with false positives or INDETERMINATE results on a wb test. As Joggen has said, most all result in a negative test later down the line when they re-test.
For now, you both just need to take a antibody test and from their we can help further help you.

Hey no problem. That test would be perfect, simple and you get results in 20 mins, so if your both negative you then have nothing to worry about. Thats the kind of test people should take for their first test as a wb test is only used if somone has a confirmed positive test after 3 months from exposure.

Then if neither of you had a risk in 14 months your negative and the WB ( which is an incorrect test really for your status ) should just be ingnored. If you stated all the facts in the first place would have saved 5 pages of posts lol. But hey, we got their in the end..
