Test at 49 days
Hello,
I live in Jamaica and had a HIV test done at exactly 49 days after becoming worried about the status of a girl I had been with. The results came back negative. But the lab told me that I should come back at in a couple weeks time.
1. Would a test at 49 days be conclusive?
2. Is my result likely to change at the next testing.

What was your exposure?
49 days post exposure will NOT give you a conclusive result. Only at 12 weeks will your test be 100% conclusive.
There are some who say that your results are unlikely to change, and that may well be true. Bottom line, you're STILL going to have to wait the 12 weeks to be 100% sure
