But you hear defferents stories , BloodBank told me wait 1 year from exposer. and I'm well passed that date . I did one wednesday was Neg with rapid test finger stick was drop of blood for 20 mins was Negative.
Testing is all a matter of what you are comfortable with. Six weeks is enough for almost the entire population. the rest is all CYA by the health organizations.
Bloodbank has outdated information, but it doesn't matter for you because you said your last exposure was more than a year ago, right? And you recently had another negative test? Yes, you are HIV negative and I don't know why you are even here.
The blood bank is more stringent because the test for all communicable diseases, and not just HIV. They are NOT behind times.
