blood donation

[rahul77]

my question is that ..if somebody feels he needs to be tested and he donates his blood after 2 months(i.e.bfore the window period which is 3 months)in order to confirm that whether he is + or - and the results comes out to be NEGATIVE...so what does that means ...is he safe or not???

Most likely if he goes for a test at 3 months it will still be negative. Most likely, but it is recommended

its wrong to purposely use blood donation for getting your status, what if you were truly positive and were neg at the time of donation., would it make you feel good to infect someone. chances are very slim that the blood center would miss it but its always a possibility

Ok so after sixty days  that would be a very very good indicator that you are negative. I highly doubt that would change but test at three months to get your conclusvie result.

You really should not be using a blood donation to determine you HIV status. Where are you from again? If you gave them the correct information about yourself, address, name you would have been contacted by them. Do you think they would want to have someone keep donating infected blood? NO! If this is troubling you so much go back and ask them. Stand up against your fear and not rely on others to protect you only you can do that. I say go get a real HIV test to put this behind you because that little voice in the back of your head is going to keep saying "is this the day they are going to call?" Head it off and test its easy. Good luck.
