3 months or 6 months?

[komina]

I have noticed that in this forum it is said that after 3months/12weeks your HIV test results are conclusive.

My question is why that is if the CDC says 6months...  Why 6? and to whom does that 6 months apply to.

After my 12th week can I rest knowing I'm not infected?   What is it 3 or 6?

Should I get a PCR test?

SORRY pleas don't answer that.

I have already asked and it was answered.

thank you Teak.

I'm sorry but is 3months like 12weeks....  are 12 weeks long enough for a conclusive test?

[Teak]

You are not in that catagory and need not worry about it. Your 3 month test would be conclusive.

[komina]

what causes the very few people that do become positive after the 12th week?

You've been here long enough to know that 3 months is conclusive and the CDC guidelines was changed from 6 months to 3 months in 2004. No you don't need to take an unapproved test. Get your conclusive test and be done with it. Your 11 week test isn't going to change.
