[nony606]

Hi

I had HIV duo test(fourth generation) at 7th week and 11 weeks 3 days, both were negative. Can i consider it conclusive and move on with life?

Thanks

Don't believe everything you read.

UK testing guidelines.
Post-test discussion

The need for a repeat HIV test if still within the window period after a specific exposure should be discussed. Although fourth generation tests shorten the time from exposure to seroconversion a repeat test at three months is still recommended to definitively exclude HIV infection.

What are you talking about? No test is positive after 9 months.

[nony606]

but i just read another thread, you also replied to that. it was positive after 9 months?

how is that possible?

[Vance2335]

12 weeks is 3 months...you test will not change in a matter of 4 days.
