chris: "In very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months to develop antibodies to HIV." this includes people with sever immune dysfuntion and cancer patients and IV drug users ...

[troggs]

Read what Chris has written above and try to take comfort in it...

[worryalso78]

[alienshadow]

i would not test again if i were in your shoes

[troggs]

Your funny Shadow, and you right...i wish i was not so much of a head case that if think i have to go back again and retest, even with a 85 day hiv - lab result.

[alienshadow]

"CDC did not change the window period.

You don't know what you are talking about. The CDC changed the guidelines several years ago.
