Diabetes and HIV
by concernedincanada, Dec 03, 2008 07:09PM
Hi all,
quick question...can having type I diabetes affect the window period for standard hiv serology antibody testing? I had brief unprotected vaginal sex (no ejaculation) with a guy, and I tested negative 8 months later. However, diabetes does seem to be hereditary in my family....so I just sorta became concerned with the accuracy of my test..especially because I have a single swollen lymph node that doesn't seem to want to go away. Any chance that the 8 month test missed an infection?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!
