Hello doctor, I am a 30-year-old man. Recently, I was tested for complete STD checkup with TORCH test. I have a few doubts:  Are HIV 1 and 2 with p24 duo test after 28 days window period conclusive? My result is nonreactive.   I got a positive result for rubella. CMV and HSV 1 and 2 IgG positive but IgM negative. Am I an eligible person for marriage and sexual relationship?   What is the treatment plan for those TORCH IgG positive results?  Of note, I had unprotected oral sex twice and protected vaginal sex three times in the last two months.
Hello. Fourth generation p24 anti-HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) antibody is conclusive after a window of two to three weeks. So a negative result at 28 days is reliable.  A positive IgG (immunoglobulin G) for HSV (herpes simplex virus) 1 and 2 means you have an old infection with herpes 1 or 2. HSV type 2 commonly causes genital herpes and HSV type 1 causes orolabial herpes. There is a risk that you may pass on the infection to your sexual partner. CMV (Cytomegalovirus) positivity is quite common in general population. It is a common viral infection and does not cause any issues in immune competent healthy individuals. HSV needs to be treated only if there is a clinical episode. There is no need to treat CMV. For more information consult an HIV AIDS specialist online -->
