i had unprotected sex. help please.
I had unprotected vaginal sex. My test 4generation ag/ab combo 12, 15, 16, 18,5 weeks negative.Do I need to take more? In my country, the official window period for six months. Thanks.
'Drinking antibiotics' in high doses will not affect the result. HIV is a virus thus antibiotics are ineffective anyway. You have received a negative result, however if you are still worried take the test after 6 months - it will come back negative but at least you will feel reassured.
thebest is trust your blood work/or so call blood test. in my country also the window period is 6 months, this is drastic actions to curb others getting infected.its to realy make sure u are free b4 starting unprotected with your wife if u have or other sex workers, stay protected. 4th gen test 30days good enough to know your status, standard antibody test 90 days conclusive cdc guidlines, they deal with millions cases around the world they have their reosons saying so
Any negative result after 12 week's is conclusive and final.
The number of test's you have taken and in the time frame, mean without a doubt you are negative.
6 months is outdated and old news.
Take care.

Man U tested at 18.5 week. Ur result is conclusive regardless the type of specific test. In my country Duo ag/ab HIV 1/2 is conclusive at 4 weeks and check for type 1/2 antigen and antibody.
I mean, to HIV2 antigen is not detected system 4 generations. Therefore, to have to wait for the emergence of HIV2 antibodies. The antigen is detected only when the HIV1
Most ag/ab test check for both HIV 1/2 with antigen and antibodies. I do not understand what u trying to say. Antigen are at peak at 28 days and then antibody should appears while antigen fade
In the nineties probably but in 2015 the specialist said 4 week with a duo test is enough which u took
Ur country is conservative. 6 months is ridiculous - 4 week should be enough - especially is u tested with 4 generation combo test.
No further testing needed! You're negative! HIV DUO test window period is 3-4 weeks after exposure. Be happy!
