Nervous wreck

[Penitentidiot]

I know, I know I know that I probably don't have HIV based on relatively low risk (see my previous post below) and my negative test at 38 days (almost 6 weeks) but I still have to do my 12 week which is four days away but I'm dying from nervousness.  Can I do it a few days early?

You're negative.

[Penitentidiot]

12 week (well, 3 days ahead) EIA negative.

Don't be nervous, I know the waiting can be real frustrating however once you have your result in your hand , it feels like heaven.

You are in my thoughts and prayer

[Penitentidiot]

just tested today, 4 days ahead of 12 weeks.  so nervous...

[mike_no]

You gotta retest ya self, do it at the 6/8 week for an indicative result and retest again at the 12 weeks for a conclusive one


5 week's very encouraging, 75 / 80 % accuracy, most would test positive at the 4th week, just to be sure about it retest !

Yeah my last post in the previous thread corrected myself.  It was definitely 3rd gen EIA.

[mike_no]

Hey, decide what test was it, you say EIA then PCR and again EIA now?

[Penitentidiot]

not PCR, 5th week 3rd gen EIA

[mike_no]

Did you say that you tested "undetectable" with a PCR at the 5th week ?

If your answer's "yes"

Forget HIV, you don't have it, Guaranteed !

do back your result with a NEGATIVE at the 13 week cuz thats the protocol, It'll be negative.
