I had unprotected vaginal sex. 3rd day i had fever of 37.6. 4th day after exposure i had weak legs and kidney, low back pain. At 6 th day i develop sore throat with white tongue. On the 8th day i felt slight headache and on and off fever normally in the afternoon. I went for a complete test at 32 days after my exposure. tje test result came out hiv 1&2 by elisa as non reactive but i was diagnosed with herpes 2. i know conclusive result is only by 3 or 6 months. i am so desperate to know the accuracy for 32 days test. and will herpes prolong the produce of hiv antibodies?
i had sex with sex worker... i used the protection but dnt know whether it got broke or not..after some weeks later ylw liquid came out frm panis i tested for gonorrohea but it is neg.and tested for all other stds but came neg except fungal infection...i had sore throat,cough, back pain nausea but not fever rash weight loss..i got tested in 3,4,n 5 mnth but all result were negative...
1.does fungal infection delay the production of hiv anti body?
2.i had back pain n amazing feeling in my eye is this related to hiv?
3. should i need to retest again in 6 mnth,,?
4.can i apply for abroad study with out any tension about it?

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

so i really ignore my doctor right? anyway do you know where can i get an anonymous hiv test in malaysia. i know they are using sd bioline rapid. is the performance as good as the others?
I'm not sure too. I guess they did not update their window period. However, all i know is, 3 months is conclusive. :)
hi andrew. since you are from malaysia as well as i do. why is the doctor keep on mentioning 6 month thing even when they are using third generation elisa test? they really put so much stress in me.
so worried. dont feel offended but i will feel better with an expert dropping a words of encouragement
I am not an expert.However I feel that you are safe.It is highly unlikely that 11 week negative will be positive on 12 week or 13 week .However do a test on 12 week.
hi lizzie. merry christmas. i need your help here in telling and i much in the clear. thanks
this question is for lizzie or getitright77. i know 3 months is conclusive. as you can read i had a negative at 11 weeks. do you think i can happily declare i am hiv free and start to go on with my life?
thanks vance. my over conservative doctor even said 6 months. but i trust Dr Hook instead but yet i still will go for a 3 months guideline. however i just want to know the answer from my question.
We follow the guidelines put out by the CDC. While they maybe outdated do to new testing senesitivity we will say 3 months until the CDC changes it.
please teak. i dont think that is the answer towards my question. but first, dr hook who had assessed me, said that 8 weeks would be conclusive and dr hhh too even agreed and stated in one of its post. anyway i don't want to debate on the window period. if the guideline says 3 month then i will go ahead. my question is " has anyone come across a 11 weeks negative turn positive at 12/13 weeks???"
hi getitright. i had come across in australia that a hiv should conclusive by 8 weeks. and i even learn that the doctors had never ever come across anyone that a 8 weeks or yet my 11 weeks negative turn positive in a later period. since you are from Australia (a very wonderful country) would you agree that the statement are true?
sorry for question again. due anxiety driven, i went for a test at 11 weeks with third generation elisa. NEGATIVE!! Dr in the expert forum has stress that i could already consider the result to be definite by 8 weeks instead of the conservative 3 months. i understand you guys are sticking with three months. but is there any major difference if i test again in three months or 12 weeks? and have guys every come across anyone tested positive after 11 weeks?
