India or anywhere in world... 3 months is conclusive.. regardless of which hiv test they perform.

6 months guidelines were chnaged in 2004 to 3 months by CDC.

Doesn't matter if you are a drunk or not it will not extend your window period.

You have to ask WHY? How do you think HIV is transmitted? Didn't you just say that you had, sex with a "Sex Worker?"
