Anyone test pos after 8 weeks/11 weeks/12 weeks?

[troggs]

I was concerned to know if anybody could answer if someone who tested negative then positive after those testing times. Most will agree that after the 8 weeks your chances go down and at 11/12/13 weeks negative you are pretty much in the clear. Just some pretesting anxiety.

and if youre really concerned, have you tried a DNA PCR test?

Yes i'm very concerned. The dna pcr is very sensative to the point of giving positves. I was under the impression that he was a user, unlike myself. Why does Dr.HHH say that nothing outside of cancer/chemo can delay detection? I'm sure given his speacialty that he has had many expiriences with these type of exposures. I've been coughing as of late, something i never did before, i'm done for...my throat is also bothering me as well. Hiv/hep-c........

chronic usage can delay seroconversion according to medical experts, i have no literature to cite at the moment. If you do not use on a regular basis, you are not subject to delayed seroconversion. Needle stick incidents are indeed risky, but there is only a tiny chance you will be infected

[Rae1]

not to leave you concerned, but i think youre fine -- stress and anxiety can bring on many, many symptoms unfortunately. Calm down and consult with your doctor, who probably will say you do not need anymore testing.

Thank you for your kind words. It's very hard to shake these fears, but i'll try.
