God bless you, thank you.
You don't have a concern for group N and yes they detect M and O and your test has been conclusive.
Hello Teak,
Thanks for the info., what the lab uses is Determine™ HIV-1/2, approved by USAID not The FDA, the question is; would it detect HIV1/HIV2 Groups M, N, and O too?
I have no access to Clearview, I still have the same thrush/white spot on the middle of my tongue and recurrent HSV outbreaks about once a month roughly for the past couple of months??
Regards,
Carlos.

Clearview is FDA approved.
Hello again Teak and all, I hope all is well.
Quick question; would the blood test “Determine” by the company (Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc.*/ Abbott Laboratories*) detect HIV1/HIV2 Groups M, N, and O?
BTW, I did a past-6 month HIV Ab 1&2 test with the above mentioned, results: (-) Negative.
Regards,
Garlos.
Yes Sir, thank you again.
Maybe I need to seek help, I will.
Kind regards,
Carlos.
You have a conclusive negative test result past the window period. If you can't accept your negative test seek professional mental help as to why.
Hi and thanks Teak,
I want to wish you a happy new year and the best of luck for 2009.
Sorry for my repeated posts and concerns, they are refreshed every time I learn something new about HIV, especially from readings by good professionals on this –highly regarded- site.
For example;
1) My encounters were all with Black Caribbean women?
2) I did have previous, multiple, unprotected Veginal intercourses with the same person?
3) The type of rapid test used and their reliability?
4) The fact that my doctor is suggesting doing the 6-month test?
5) The facts that I still have the same amount of thrush on the middle of my tongue and a seemingly persistent genital yeast infection?
Please forgive my ignorance/knowledge; I don’t know whom else to turn to.
Based on these facts am I at a higher risk and should I worry about the 6-month window period or do you still think that I’m OK?
HAPPY NEW YEAR, GOD BLESS YOU.
Regards,
Carlos.
