Thank you I appreciate your response.
No, having hepatitis would not affect your ability to produce antibodies, so your test would be conclusive.
What I mean is if I in fact have hepatitis will be my 3 month test still be conclusive? Thank you
Just wondering if anyone has knowledge of hepatitis affecting a HIV antibody tests?
I know it's awful! Not sure if you read my original post but I took an oraquick at 8 weeks which was neg and from the comments on here I was feeling pretty good about it until I came accross the hepatitis info which I had no clue about and didn't test for so now I'm beyond worried again. Wishing you good luck on your test
Hi so I am going this week for my 12 week test. I just have one concern. I did not get tested for anything else at the time I originally took the oraquick test. Was it possible for me to catch hepatitis from this event and if so I've read hepatitis could possibly delay a positive hiv test and produce a false negative antibody test out to 12 months, is that correct? I just want to make sure my test will be conclusive. Thank you
Contact of semen with eye is not a high risk activity. As I said, your 8 weeks test is highly reassuring and will not going to change in the weeks to come. You may repeat the same test after 4 weeks to get a final and conclusive report and move on with your life normally. The result of your final 12/13 weeks will remain the same
I'm having terrible anxiety about this and I feel like an idiot. Everything I have read online is so contradicting about the exposure. Just wanted to thank you for your reassuring comment.
Thank you very much for your response. I just have one more question just for my own knowledge. Before my posting I read some articles about semen in the eyes a couple said no risk, others say high risk. What do you think the risk is? I guess that nurse and dr. With conflicting opinions really freaked me out. After I questioned what the nurse said to the dr. She told me to just wait a month and then come back if I felt is was necessary, but she said she didn't feel the need to put me through a blood test. Weird right? I would like to go in now for the test you suggested but I feel awkward asking after the encounter with them.. If I wait the month and just do another rapid test when I go back would that be considered accurate/ conclusive? Sorry I guess that was 2 questions instead of one. Thanks again for your time.
In addition I forgot to add I got a case of oral thrush and a respiratory infection about 2 weeks after these incidents. I know they say symptoms don't mean anything but i just wanted to put it out there
