HIV Test Conclusive?

[jerry456]

Hi,

Is a negative HIV test result conclusive at 13 weeks? I'm confused because I hear some people say 3 months and some say 6 months is conclusive.

Thanks.

Ok, so older tests might have taken that long to seroconvert but today's modern tests don't take that long. Am I in the ball park as to the reason why?

You would have to ask them why they are using old info.

Ok, cool. Just out of curiosity how come some people say 6 months?

A test done any time after 12 weeks is conclusive.
