Ag/Ab combo test, which turns out negative as well.
I've read some cases in which it will take 6 months for antibodies to show up? I only feel worst after reading such statements! I am feeling more anxious the more i think about it. I feel that until i take the test at 6 months post exposure, i can't be relief. I am healthy and still young. So my questions are:
1) Is 4 months post exposure really considered conclusive? (negative)
2) What are the chances that there will be a false negative? Or rather, under what circumstances will the anti-bodies then show up on the 6 months exposure mark?
