Thanks, I have been going through a whole lot of emotions lately. I think this was a wake up call.
this doesnt matter, You do not have HIV
Thanks, I actually felt like telling her. Before attending the clinic, I had done a lot of research. I even asked my health science professor. I had one last question.
1. How much of the virus is in pre-cum? Is it a significant amount?
Tell her she doesn't know what she's talking about.
So clinics are following the old guide lines? I asked her that I read that it could take up to 6 months if you are on chemo or such, and she told me I was wrong.
6 months is the old guideline. 3 months is conclusive.
Thanks Teak. Do you know why clinics give people a window period of 6 months? Is 2 months pretty good too?
3 months post exposure is conclusive.
I went in for a 8 week check. It came back negative. The test used was an ELISA test. But the clinic said that this doesn't mean it is conclusive. She said the window period is 2 weeks to 6 months. I don't understand this.
Your 6 week test is a very good indication of your hiv status and is unlikely to change. A 8 week 4th gen test is 99.9 % if available.
You will need to take an HIV antibody test at 3 months post exposure for you conclusive result.
