hiv window period

[ramses0106]

i tested "negative" for both oral and confirmation tests for hiv, but i had unprotected sex before  with some one who tested positive like a week and half before i tested. my counselour reasured me that i was not positive. should i rely on this?

get urseelf tested at 3 moths..test at 6 weeks can also relieve urserlf from stress..as they are 98% conclusive..and as far as possible dont try to look for hiv info on the net..it can only make u feel worse...do appropriate test in recognise centre and consult an HIV specialist...from my last visit at the Main Local Aids unit of my country(to get my 7 weeks confirmation results)...i could see that all of them who are HIV+ are or were drug addicts...meaning unprotected sex carries a lesser risk as regards to drug injections..but a risk is a risk..so we need to get ourself tested..and hopefully we come out good from this experience and learn our lessons...all the best..god bless u

Yea, I concur answersasap seems to not know wht he is talking about.

Can you let us know the date of your last exposure with the mentioned person and the date when you got tested ?

[ExtremeStress]

first off don't listen to answerasap (big Idiot). You need to test out to 3 months past your last unprotected exposure with the positive person!

did you have sex with this person a week and a half b4 you were tested?

[ohio9200]

Is a week and a half long enough?

[ohio9200]

who are you reffering to?

[ohio9200]

I don't think a week and a half is long enough,please don't panic. I am not sure what a confirmation tests for hiv is could you explain I have never heard of them doing a comfrimation test unless pos on an oral test are you referring to a blood test?
