How to Tell HIV Effect in First Months?
During the initial stages of HIV, some individuals might not display any symptoms at all while others may have flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and body aches. This happens because the virus has already started to weaken their immune system. It is important to test if you suspect that you might have been exposed to HIV. Early treatment onset after diagnosis is necessary for effective management of the virus.

Are negative 4th generation HIV lab tests conclusive?
Getting three negative results for a 4th generation HIV test at 71, 90, and 94 days after a protected sexual encounter is actually quite reassuring. These tests are highly accurate, but in some cases, it's recommended to confirm with a final test around the 3-month mark. However, with your results all coming back negative, the likelihood of a false negative is extremely low. It's always good to follow up with your physician for further guidance and support.

Is my low iron saturation level indicating severe IDA?
Your hemoglobin is 11.28, iron is 21, TIBC is 533, and transferrin saturation is 4%. These results do suggest a low iron level, which could indicate iron deficiency anemia. This means your body doesn't have enough iron to make sufficient red blood cells, affecting oxygen transport. It's essential to address this to prevent symptoms like fatigue and weakness. I'd recommend increasing iron-rich foods like spinach, red meat, and lentils in your diet. Additionally, your doctor may suggest iron supplements. Regular follow-ups will help monitor your levels and adjust treatment if needed.
