Welcome to the HIV forum.  I'll try to help.  The bottom line is that it is quite certain you did not catch HIV.

First, it is unlikely your partner has HIV. Most sex workers are not infected -- and her negative recent HIV test should be very reassuring.  Can people lie?  Sure.  Can people have a new infection that hasn't yet shown up on a blood test?  Of course.  But the statistical odds of those occurrences are low.  And remember that even when a woman has HIV, the chance of transmission through unprotected vaginal sex is around 1 for every 2,000 sexual exposures.  Finally, it is almost impossible that you have HIV in light of negative tests for both HIV antibody and P24 antigen at ~2 weeks after exposure.  (India is a medically sophisticated country.  The tests used and their results are just as reliable as anywhere in the world.)

The time frame of 3 months until completely reliable testing is standard advice.  But it is hyper-conservative.  The modern HIV antibody tests almost always are positive within 6 weeks.  And as I said above, the combination of negative antibody and negative P24 antigen at 16 days is highly reliable.

Can you "carry on with your spouse"?  Of course no distant online expert can guarantee you are not infected with HIV.  But I can tell you if I were in your situation, knowing what I know, I would continue unprotected sex with my wife without any concern for her health.

Finally, don't pay any attention to the index value of the antibody tests.  There is no difference between 0.16, 0.22, and any other value up to the positive cut-off value.  All are equally negative.

All is well.  You aren't infected.  Feel free to have a final antibody test in a few weeks, for reassurance.  But in the meantime, don't worry so much.  Almost certainly you weren't infected.

专家说2周多就可以依靠抗原来检测了,六周是ALMOST ALWAYS,在这个人问他是否需要再做三个月时,专家就关闭了帖子.专家认为三个月时超级保守的.

The combo test, which detects both HIV antibody and p24 antigen, is considered virtually 100% reliable at 4 weeks.  Still, some experts recommend a final antibody-only test as late as 3 months, although 6-8 weeks really is sufficient.  As things stand now, based on the combination of all information (low chance your partner had HIV, low chance of transmission even if she was infected, plus the test results), the chance you have HIV is zero for all practical purposes.  It is up to you whether you need the additional reassurance of additional tests despite this reassurance.

能说明什么啊！毕竟P24检测只针对于HIV-1型…
