No it does not increase a window period. What it does is increase the chance of a false positive.
I have a last query pls. I also had 10 duos. One every day from 80 to 90 days. Will continuous testing make blood less good for testing, thus increasing the wondow period? Please note i suffer from ocd and sorry of this sounds irrational
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
