Quick question - thanks

Hi,

I think this is 2 questions -
I had a hiv test done a couple of days under the 10 week mark - is this fairly accurate?
I know you can't go off symptoms but is 10 weeks too late to get them?  I have come up with all kinds of symptoms - generally flu like and not sure if it is a general cold/infection?

Anyway, thanks for all your help.

Dont think symptoms, because 99.99% they are caused by something else. a 10 week test is fairly accurate. 12 weeks is conclusive. what was your exposure?

What kind of percentage would you say it was?

by ExtremeStress, Oct 15, 2007 10:10AM
No risk for either of those, so your 10 week negative is 100% conclusive.

by ExtremeStress, Oct 15, 2007 10:11AM
Thats why I wanted to know your exposure!
