HIV test after 80 days
Hello, I am Asian and I had unprotected anal sex on July 26, 2014. However, my partner did not ejaculate in me. So I freaked out after reading about HIV risk of unprotected anal sex, and I decided to get tested for HIV antibodies (HIV EIA AB Screen) on October 14, 2014, which is 80 days or 11.4 weeks. The result came back as negative. Hence, is my result conclusive or not? Do I need further testing? I need some reassurance. My anxiety is killing me!!!Thank you so much
When the authorities set up the guidelines. They say 12 weeks as a general rule of thumb. These are very conservative guidelines.They do not mean everybody who is negative will suddenly test positive at midnight at the end of week 12.
Most people will test positive by week 8.
If you test with 4th Gen Duo at 4 week's, you will get conclusive result's. 3rd Gen antibody only; the guidelines are 12 week's.

I am going to donate blood in April next year. Can I just wait until then to the the blood work done? Or do I have to get tested at 12 weeks?
