So... If you don't do this risk then 6 weeks to 8 weeks is a conclusive results..? Or else no need for testing right...?
Stats schmats!!!
Seriously, you had a risk test. Its that simple. You can't judge your risk based on stats you judge it on exposure. You had one, you need to test.

3 months testing... This is for people who have a risk right...? Like unprotected vaginal/anal sex...?right..?
Look Teak is an expert on the subject of hiv and his information is always 100% accurate.What you must except now that its a waiting game until 3 months comes around.Stats mean nothing when diagnosing hiv.
You can worry if you like but worrying isn't going to help a thing, that is something you should have thought about before having unprotected sex. Sex last for minutes, but HIV lasts a life time.
So what your saying is testing at 1 month means nothing at all and I should continue to worry like crazy for the next 2 months until I can teat at 3 months right?
Thanks for your suggestion Teak. I was not aware of it all. Its a sad situation however since all I was trying to do is pass on the information that I have learned from experts such as Dr.HHH. I will also add a caveat for people to not completely rely on my information as I am not an expert. Instead, people should search the forum and look for information themselves.
It can if you get hauled into court. Choose your words wisely when posting in a medical help forum.
Really? I was not aware of that. Why would I get a lawsuit when all I have done is provide statistics from expert and have repeatedly said that only 12 week test is 100% conclusive? Wow. So trying to help others comes with a cost?
You do know that if someone gets a positive results based on your replies you've opened yourself up for a lawsuit?
The fact is that around 90% of people turn positive at 4 weeks. Dr. Hook and Dr. HHH have said it countless times. You can search this form and read those discussions. Get tested at 12 weeks for 100% conclusive result, but meanwhile you can be confident that your result will be negative. Odd's are strongly in your favor.
I agree with you. Testing is necessary whether or not risks are low. However, knowing odd's do help people relax.
i understand that. but most people would test positive by one month. im not saying its 100% im just saying the chances are good
