The tests would have checked for both HIV-1 and HIV-2. You should be very satisfied with these results and you do not need to test again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi,<\/p>\n<p>I had a sex with a girl and since then I have been feeling ill with symptons similar to gastric flu which is also similar to HIV. I went for a HIV test several times after the sex and all came out negative, but I am still not satisfied. I took the girl for a test and she was negative too, we still went for HIV-1 PCR tests after 4 weeks and it was negative as well.<\/p>\n<p>I still worry so much because I still feel somekind of illness, I&#8217;m from West Africa and this is giving a big concern as I still feel like I could have HIV-2. Would the PCR detect HIV-2 as well because the test result was said to be for HIV-1 only. Please, I need help here! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-testing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3492"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24569,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3492\/revisions\/24569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
