11 week negative

Tested 4, 8, and 11 week negative. Was feeling ok but I have MS, does that make window period longer? Risk was unprotected vaginal.

Ok I know I'm not supposed to comment anymore but got a negative 91 day rapid test today. I'm good to go even with MS and meds correct?

I won't post again, however I'm not technically conclusive and I did have a risk. Sorry for the trouble.

Does it make a difference if it was not just a one time encounter? It was several over a year period.

You do what you want but an 11 week negative won't change--you're negative.

Any internet site that is still saying 6 months is the HIV window period is providing false and misleading information.MS meds have nothing to do with delayed seroconversion.

Ok I don't mean to be annoying but why do some still say 6 months? Doing the whole "what if" thing, could my MS or the meds  be considered one of " those rare people"? Last question and I'll go away I promise.

There is no such thing as delayed seroconversion--it's an urban myth

Thank you. I started to really worry about the "window period" because I have MS and the meds I fortunately was non compliant in taking. I assume you also don't believe that would lengthen MY window period?

11 weeks is conclusive--get off google and find something else to do because all the different information will drive you mad.You don't have HIV,be happy about that and next time use protection.

any thoughts on my Mutiple Sclerosis? Does it change the window period to longer than 3 months?

Thank you very much for the response. I need to get on with my life, I will test again next week for 13 weeks. You don't believe my MS will change the window period? I didn't take an immunosuppresent but rather an immunomodulator?
