  1 year From Sexural Assulted
Jun 17, 2007

Hi Dr Brian. I have done every test they have on market. I was retested at 12 months and was negative. I also did all the tests from PCRs to Elisa's and WB's . I was told by another doctor it can take up two year before test can show. I said where did you heard it she said I'm a dcotor and I said you need some more updated on HIV. Dr Brian, let me know if I need another test after being raped last year.




  Response from Dr. Conway

I am not aware of any information to suggest that you should be tested any more unless you have had another possible exposure to HIV or unless you have clear symptoms of HIV infection and a lowered CD4 count. I think it is time to move on.

Not all blood banks are the same. You have to go with their policy.
