76 day post exposure hiv test

[pdeez]

Hey guys,

I need some reassurance, i tested negative to a 76 day hiv rapid test, (finger) and i am still a little worried also tested negative at three weeks and 6 weeks elisa blood test. First i know that i am some days away from a conclusive test.  ( I am also confused as to the three month mark, 84 days or 90 days) Can i consider this negative result conclusive? What are the chances of a 76 day roughly 11 week negative test turn positive? Is the rapid test considered  a new generation test?  

Thanks

Oh forgot to mention that i ahd unportected sex  multiple times 76 days ago with a 19 year old girl who claims that i was her second partner. Also claims that she is clean.

Thanks

Testing guidelines for the US is 13 weeks all others are 12 weeks.

So my 76 day negative is useless? I should restest in two weeks? What are the chances of my reslutls becoming positive lizzie?

it's highly unlikely that it will change.  (i've never quite understood the difference in the 12/13 weeks...lol)

I am just concerned about having a false negative at 76 days and testing positive at 84 or 90? techanically 84 days is 12 weeks. In your opinion should i retest in a week or two?

Thank you reply is very encouraging thanks.

I am still very worried. Dont knw if i should be.

if you want a conclusive test result...then yes...test again.

Hey guys,

I posted a few weeks ago on the accuracy of 76 day negative... Since u recommended to test at three months I went ahead and did so. I was tested using a rapid test (finger) and it came back negative... So my question to you guys is if I can consider myself HIV negative for good? Is this test conclusive? Do I need further testing considering my risk?
Your response will help me move on for good!

Your test is conclusive.

Thanks for replying... So no more testing is needed? I ask because I was planning a fourth month test or 16 week test.. Do U feel I need this test?? Beleive or or not I am still not feeling 100 percent about All this.... Maybe um just worrying excesivley... Should I feel ok about my negative results at three months?

Thanks... I think I just need to move on..

Time to move on you are negative

I'm in the same position as you mate
I had blood rapid tests after 76, 83, 94 days and after 16 weeks.
Despite all the negative tests i still can't move on, thinking that the possibility of late seroconversion is still there.
I'm now waiting for another one and a half month to have another test at the 24 weeks.
I'll keep you in my prayer and wish the best for your test result.

BOTH OF YOU NEED TO MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES.  A TEST AT 3 MONTHS IS RELIABLE AND CONCLUSIVE.
THIS FORUM HAS NOTHING MORE TO OFFER.

Hey guys it me again after three months... Well it's now my sixth month and I am still considering a last test.. The only thing that had kept me from truly moving on is this damn sore throat that has been bothering me for more than two months... Am I nuts to consider a final test? My three month rapid test was negative.. I don't knw if this sore throat is just the stress or if it'd something else... I don't knw it's been six months since my last risky episode... What do u think?

Yes you are nuts to consider a 6 month test when you have been told over and over again that 3 months is conclusive.

Why have you not seen/followed up with your Dr about a sore throat that has lasted for 2 months.

By the way sore throat has nothing to do with HIV.
