If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
I posted a few days ago about continuing symptoms and just wanted to throw another question out there. I tested negative at four weeks with the duo test and again with antibody test at six weeks. Has anyone heard of such results changing to positive? I am now at nine and a half weeks and despite sound advice am suffering the same worries I have read throughout the forum.
listen; my doctor told me every thing is possible medically,some with all symptoms may get neg result and some with out symptoms may get pos result...
just get tested
All are saying the same, get a final test at 12/13 weeks. The probability for a DUO test at 4,6 weeks turning positive are remote, if your exposure was typical very very remote.
6 weeks should be fine. Here in Australian STD clinics (or at least the one i went to) they told me that 5 week test results are 95%+ conclusive, also, the doctor and nurse said they had never seen anyone seroconvert past this.
Good luck if you decide to get tested at 12 weeks though :).
