risk and testing
Hi all. I was wondering if 12 weeks was conclusive for all risks. For example sex with someone who was positive or used IV drugs? I'm at 9 weeks negative right now and I know 12 weeks is conclusive. But would it be conclusive if the partner was in that group. My exposure was unprotected vaginal with a dancer at a club.
Congrats! your 8 week neg is a great indication of your stat. just take your last 12th week test for the conclusive result. Relax, all odds are in your favor
No,not at all.You can consider yourself negative with today,s modern testing,however we still encourage a follow up test at 12 weeks just for a 100% conclusive result and total peace of mind for you.All the best.
Thanks a lot I have been on this site a lot lately and you guys are great! I was just inquiring about the risk and conclusive test but seeing that it was put out there would an 8 week neg be likely to change?
Your 9 week negative test result is highly unlikely to change at 12 weeks if that,s what your asking.And yes the 100% conclusive hiv window period 3 months and has been since 2004 with the only exception being chemotherapy patients,transplant patients on meds and chronic iv drug users who many take a little longer than 3 months to seroconvert.
