hiv test at 9 weeks
i had a test carried out 9weeks+ and it came back negative, i had unprotected sex and i am a bit anxious even though i was the penetrative partner. i would like to if i should be confident with the result i already have, i have had the test carried out 5 times using 2 different rapid test kits, the alere determine hiv-1/2 and the unigold rapid hiv1/2 kits
The chances of a 9 week antibody test turning positive later is "very" slim so this is most likely your true status. However the antibody window period is 12 weeks.
Over testing could result in a false positive as that sometimes, though rarely, occurs.
Just test one last time at 12 weeks to be sure.
