HIV TEST

Is the HIV test conclusive at 12 weeks? I will use a 4 generation test.
Has anyone ever tested negative with a 4 generation test at 12 weeks then after became positive?

Thank you!!!!!

Because no person has ever taken that long to seroconvert since the mid 90,s and with the new tests today it doesn,t happen anymore.The new tests are more accurate and detect antibodies much earlier than in the past.Also,the CDC changed the window period to 3 Months back in 2004.That was 7 years ago.You are reading from old and outdated websites on the internet that have never been updated.Read what our expert doctors say about 6 Months,they call it an urban myth.

You don,t have to worry about 6 Months for 2 reasons,the first is that 6 Months is outdated by 7 years and the second is that you NEVER HAD A RISK.

In respect only to the fact of people who might get a positive result only at 6 months. How do i know if i am one of these people?

Once again you never had a risk,but if you insist on testing then 12 weeks is 100% conclusive and your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.That test you have on monday will be NEGATIVE.If your not satisfied after that then it might be time to join the OCD community here on medhelp.

Get a test of immune response in a hospital, however, if you do not have many ailments in daily life, your immunity system is basically normal. What is more,check some of the name of the immunity ailments, i am sure you do not have this kind of ailmeny, because people with this kind of ailment are usually very weak and ill in their daily life.

A 41 days test is nearly a conclusive result, if you have no inborn immunity system ailment. So the opportunity of your next test to be positive is very very very very very very very small. Be relaxed. We are waiting for your good news. Good Luck!!!

The thing is people say i didnt even had an exposure. I WENT TO A MASSAGE SPA and got a hand job no penetration no nothing.
But i got a flu the day after.

Besides that i had itchy skin with no rash.

Now at 11 weeks i have mouth ulcers. Doctors told me to not even test.

I did at 14 24 and 41 days with combo test and was negative.

Will do so again on Monday 84 days and if its negative i will live again

Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. Your test result has already proved you have not been infected, it is a fact that can not change. Forget about HIV. What is more, symptoms can not be judgement of HIV, only the test result can be, so you are safe.

Hello good morning

Do you know if anyone has tested negative at 12 weeks and then found out they were positive with 4 generation tests?

The only reason why i ask about the12 weeks is because i took off my tonsils when i was like 15 because of ongoing infections. So because of that i took lots of penicillin in my life.
Of course since then I'm OK. That's why i ask i don't know if my immune system is a good one.
I get sores in my mouth all the time too.

If when you receive your 12 week negative you are still unable to move on then may I suggest that you seek ou the help of a mental health professional.

They will be able to help you figure out where the anxiety is coming from and help you work through it.  You do not need suffer.

12 weeks will be conclusive and expect a negative result seeing as though you never had a risk in the first place.
