a western blot is used to confirm a positive test result.  you have a 10 week, 12 week, and a 20 week negative result.

ACCEPT YOUR STATUS AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE...YOU DONT HAVE HIV ! ! !

kindly move along...you do not have a hiv concern

You're wrong.  The only way to be SURE is to accept that you've already had more than one conclusive negatives.  Seek professional help if you can't accept that.  To keep testing isn't the answer.  What happens when you end up with a false + because you kept testing?  Imagine that stress?!

YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV!

We're not going to answer your questi, because it is irrelevant...you don't need to take a WB, period.

Time for you to move on.
