hiv test

[noel222]

hello
i had exposure arnd a year back
for which i got tested at 3,6 and 12 months.
Index values were .27,0.46,0.11  (non reactive)
my concern is that wat do these changing values indicate. do they mean that no. may increase in future towards one or i am safe as of now
thank you

Because the tests pick up other contaminates  in your blood and scores it. That was answered in the reply Alienshowed posted.

Your results will never be the same. You can take the test in the same lab five times in one day and they will be different. It's because the tests pick up other contaminates  in your blood and scores it. All you have to ever concern yourself about is that you are below 1.0.....

increase from .11 to .53
is this significant?

HI
I just want ti know that whether its possible for hiv positive person to become seronegative when the virus is dormant and then again positive at time of active disease?

[noel222]

i guess that 12 months should be conclusive then and i need to move on.
