I've been extremely fatigued past four weeks. Had Duo test exactly 28 days post exposure, Biolytical Insti HIV test at 42, 49, 59 days all of which were negative. How reliable are my results? Is window period longer if possible exposure came from someone taking HIV antiviral medication? Possible exposure was getting tested by HIV positive counselor on antiviral medication.
What made you test in the first place?
Any test you take will be conclusive as you had no risk.
If my possible exposure was on August 4, 2015 and I did a duo test exactly 4 weeks later on September 1, 2015 can I consider this result conclusive? I also had insti give test done at 52 days. How accurate are my non reactive results at this time frame?
How accurate is HIV DUO test at 28 days?
Please stop making this more difficult than it has to be. No one has ever been infected from taking an HIV test and you won't be the first.
In the event lancet had HIV infected blood on it, what is risk of transmission when it was used to prick my finger?
I'm not offended by any means, so you didn't upset me. I'm just telling you incase you ever come across someone with HIV, it may upset them.
I'm so sorry and like I said ignorant on subject. Internet has info on both sides of spectrum some of which is obviously wrong. I do not mean to be degrading. Please forgive me and thank you for your response.
It's very degrading that you think you can guy HIV from shaking hands with an HIV positive guy. You should consult with a mental health professional to discuss your irrational thoughts.
Forgive me but I'm ignorant on this subject and worried. So although HIV test was administered by HIV positive counselor and my result was negative I should be confident was this result even though I have concerns about the lancet used and shaking hands after test?
NONE. And we are not playing "what if".
So let's just say it was a used lancet, what is possibility of hiv infection?
Yes they are single use only.
Sorry for harping on this again, but to your knowledge are the finger prick lancets single use only? Also if it was a used lancet what is possibility of hiv infection? I'm sure lancet came out of package, but I just keep replaying scenario in my head.
You had no risk. HIV is not spread by touching
