No, if you did a 4th generation test which seems to be the case as you checked for both antigens and antibodies (they have to check them at the same time though to be 4th generation test, if you only did an antigens test at 8 weeks then it is not valid), your tests are considered conclusive by the CDC at 6 weeks (and 4 weeks by most experts)
RE-READ what i just told you ! ! !
sir do i need to have any more testing? iam asking because of persitant symptoms like soretroat. direea etc//
can i do unprotected sex with my wife?
you dont have hiv...further testing is not needed.
if you are having health concerns, work with your dr...it's NOT hiv related.
what abt the symptoms? pls comment/ what u all think abt my 16 week neg. is the result conclusive for all? hiv -1 and 2?
and all stds?
i got my 16 week test 4th gen elisa 1 & 2 , hep-b,c, sypiliss, cymadia, ghonorria, mono, hsv all neg.
You barely had a risk and your tests are showing that you weren't infected. Expect another negative.
mam have u ever seen a 8 week negative turn to positive past 3 months.
the time that you are spending on this forum should be spent getting yourself to a lab and getting your conclusive test result.
sorry i will not do so.....pls its because of my condition now ,, pls try to understand me.ok i will follow the rules of this forum.
what is the risk in my encouter?
do you think all my symptoms are related to hiv ., i have severe sore throat.soft stool, muscle pain, pain in arm pit,high heart beat rate,cough, white thing on toung, pain on upper left side of abdomen what all these mean?? pls comment sir//
You never had an exposure.
value does not signify anything...if its greater than 1 you're believed to be infected..but other than that it means NOTHING..MOST HIV tests just report reactive or non-reactive these days without mentioning the index value!!!
get tested now and get back to life! and no a neg 8 week turning positive is rare esp with the sensitive modern day tests!
whats the value in hiv report showing. for me it was .385 what this value signify?
thanks. i will get tested and up date you. one more question have you seen any one with 8 week negative test positive post 3 month?
yes.. im frm calicut// were r u frm in kerala.. do you have symptoms? i have sore throat, cough,muscle pain , loss stool, and all sort of symptoms im fed u with all these symptoms// i have a question do hiv2 infection cause delayed positive testing?do any one know all these symptoms are from hiv?
Shibu are u based out of Middle East now? Where do u hail from in Kerala? We have good doctors here..my suggestion is to see a doctor mainly an Infectious Diseases specialist or someone from Internal Medicine. Tell them your medical issues and get the right guidance...Medhelp is a wonderful forum they even advice to consult a Doctor. My problem was just going and asking for a Hiv test..I should have seen a doctor and got pre counseling. However I saw a doctor and got post test councelling..my ID specialist put my mind at ease to a great extent he said I am safe after a complete blood check. ..I have become overtly sensitive looking for symptoms now I jump at everything...despite having a 14 weeks negative combo test. ..I think u r in a similar situation. ..a doctors words could certainly bring more clarity and I am now following my doctors advice to break the thought of Hiv and not look for symptoms....god bless you brother
If you took a test at 8 weeks its not likely to change.
is there any chance that i got infected??
