i also forgot to tell, i also talked to a medtech and asked this questions like if there is a confirmatory test, she said yes...they will do a primary screening and then the confirmatory..im just not sure if i understood it correctly what she told me...yeah..i will get one soon...but don't you think that is a good indicator?and not to wori?
ask him did they do the naat test
Only because this is probably the first part of the screening method-they know people like yourself, are misusing the bank for testing purposes. Why not save your energy / my energy / and the rest of the posters and the blood banks energies and get a proper test.
i donated blood at 8wks post expo...i read a lot of forums before donating blood..i waited for 8 wks..because like they said, 2-6 wks i thinks is conclusive for healthy individual (correct me if im wrong)..
i talked to a doctor, and i told him what i did to know my status, well he said they will call me or find me if something is wrong with my blood, and since its been 2wks since i donated blood and nobody is calling, he said i can relax..that is a good indicator..

but why?isnt that a good indicator? in the questionaire that i answerd, there is a question there about the reason of you donating blood is because you want to test for hiv,hepa,syphy and others(i forgot the other diseases)...so i think blood bank are also aware of this kind of behaviour..dont you think?
