I hope you get through it man 6 weeks is a really really good sign. Medhelp is the best site I have found for the most up to date info and Aidsmeds is good too. God bless man
until you are in a mongamous relationship where BOTH OF YOU have tested...ALWAYS use condoms. sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME.
Ok i'll do it for 3 month... but is it 99.9 % conclusif i ve found this from CDC but it's an old document

The risk for HIV transmission by transfusion of screened blood is minimal. Nearly
all cases of transfusion-associated HIV transmission are now caused by blood
donated during the infectious window period (i.e., when recently infected donors
are infectious but have not yet developed detectable levels of HIV antibody). When
whole-virus–lysate enzyme immunosorbent assays (EIAs) were used to screen blood
donations from 1985 through 1990, the average length of the window period was
Vol. 45 / No. RR-2 MMWR 1
45 days (95% confidence interval [CI]=34–55 days) (3 ). The average window period of
the most sensitive contemporary recombinant protein-based EIA for HIV-1 and HIV-2
antibodies is now 20 days less (4 ), yielding an average infectious window period of
25 days (95% CI=9–41 days) (5 ).
