i didnt mean to start an arguement here all im saying is that an 8 week test mine was negative but the window period is what scares me what if my body shows antibodys then like i said i guess i would be the first on this forum to have a positive after an 8 week 3 day test but these symptoms i am having where confirmed by a dotor today that the skin breakouts are unusaual and the swollen lymphnode on the side of my chin

chris, you do not understand me. i am asking you a simple question. if you do not know the answer do no blame yourself and do not get angry.
the simple question: why does a person need to take 6 months test if the partner is hiv positive?
i understand  late seroconversion in case of damaged immune system BUT how can a partner's situation affect my antibodies. Is it clear?

ok chris. would you please explain why does a person need to take 6 months test if the partner is hiv positive?
will my body say:  your partner was hiv positive, then let's produce antibodies after 3 months...
there has to be a standart deadline, ok. 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 6 months..this is not the case.
again i am asking: why does a person need to take 6 months test if the partner is hiv positive?

"The CDC DOES NOT RECOMMEND TESTING AFTER 3 MONTHS..."
Oh yeah?
Look at that:
"Ninety-seven percent of persons will develop antibodies in the first 3 months following the time of their infection. In very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months to develop antibodies to HIV."
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testing/resources/qa/be_tested.htm#wait

you know the facts. I talked to CDC several times and they absolutely recommend testing after 3 months. if you do not believe I can send you chat logs. Ok?

chris: i asked that: what is this rare cases? they said, we did not classify.
then i asked : do healthy people seroconvert after 3 months.
two different CDC staff said me YES.

Now it is your turn. Show me the reference that says CDC does not recommend test after 3 months.

I agree, seek counseling.  With an 8 week negative you are very close to being conclusive (some would say you already are).  Don't lose the rest of your life over this.  Get yourself together for your children.  If I were you I would stop googling and even visiting this site.  You need to get your mind away from this.  God Bless.  You seem like a nice person.  Stop freaking out.

you urgently need to go a psychiatrist.
I am serious. Your negative result won't change. I am sure.
Go out from this forum and save your life. Don't waste time in this kind of forums.
Everyone will say different thing.  You will be confused like me and others.
Be sure, your result won't change.
I passed similar periods, think that:
if you are negative at 12 weeks, then what will you lose..your wife, kids..
**** hiv, go to your family. you are negative.
