I cannot move on
I have a negative test at 12 weeks mark but my exposure(unprotected vaginal and oral with prostitute) was in SE Asia and because of that I am worried about window period for subtype E. If window period for that type of HIV is longer so how test at 3 months can be conclusive? How anyone can know which type he/she was exposed???
That shouldn't depend on tests but on the strains on HIV and their acquisition of antibodies...
Yes but the rate of acquisition of anti-HIV antibodies may vary from one HIV subtype to the other, and may be slower with CRF Subtype A/E... Am I right???
Reread what I posted. There are no true subtype E.. There are CRF subtypes which are picked up by ALL tests.
