Is it possible?

Is it possible?

I had a 6-weeks test done which came neg. I am just wondering wether it is possible for HIV to seroconvert after 6 weeks. (I am a normal heathy man).

From what I have been reading this past weeks in many forums a test at 6week is very close to be conclusive. It may be 95% or more of efective.

Is your sexual encounter was losk risk, it there is an incredible small change that you  might be positive.

a six weeks test is indicative of the final result...BUT...it takes a 3 month test to be conclusive.

What was your risk?

Your test results are very encouraging.

Oficially a conclusive test would be a 12 weeks one, but the doctors in this forum (really good doctors) rely on a 6-8 weeks result and have not ever seen a 6 weeks neg turn into pos (if that eases your mind).

Cheers.

Only a 3 month test will give a conclusive negative test result.
