Emma u keep posting on threads that r closed.That means NO MORE POSTS ON THAT TREAD

[Emma93]

you dont have hiv,your 3 month test is ok

[Emily_MHManager]

This thread is now closed.  There really weren't any differing opinions, but as freakedout2012 has asked in the doctor forum, we can close this.

It might be helpful to note that nPEP consists of antiretroviral medication.  Medications for herpes are antivirals.  Different type of virus, different type of meds.

Sorry guys.  to create confusion.  due to lack of consensus i decided to post in doctors forum.  no disrespect.  clear answer its very important to me.  im very anxoius and confuse. i will come back when get doctor answer.

[sebu]

why? i just state here what experts say. even experts opinions are sometimes a little contradicting. i try to state both opinions

[Vance2335]

No it can not. Your test is conclusive.

sebu your creating more confusion then helping.

[freakingout2012]

So what im saying is i took it at day 50 post exposure...

[sebu]

NO IT CANT AFTER 3 MONTH

[freakingout2012]

Guys im confused
Can brivudine delay window for testing? Brivudine its antiviral medicin type for herpes and chickenpox that attack dna/ rna so i read?

[sebu]

NO. TEST RESULT WONT BE BIASED. IT CAN ONLY BE BIASED DURING PREGNANCY OF WOMEN. HERE SOMETIMES FALSE POSITIVES OCCUR

[freakingout2012]

please nursegirl, im sweating now..
i read brivudine which i took 50+ days after event, attacks RNA and so on... and 22 days before test.  i took for 7 days.
should i retest.  my last question promise.

[freakingout2012]

Will other antiviral medication impact test? Such as brivudine used in herpes virus?

[nursegirl6572]

nPEP is Post Exposure Prophlyaxis..it is a course of antiviral medications used in high risk situations, where someone had a real risk with a confirmed + person.  nPEP is given in those sitations to try and reduce the chances of seroconversion taking place in a high risk scenario.

A person on nPEP is advised to test at 3 months after their LAST dose of the medication.

[freakingout2012]

What is pep? Sebu?

[sebu]

YOU DONT HAVE TO TEST  BEYOND THE 3 MONTH MARK UNLESS YOU TOOK PEP

[Vance2335]

You have a conclusive test for anything that happened 3 months ago and beyond. You don't have HIV.

[freakingout2012]

sorry for repetition.  a sending mistake.
but what about past/old experiences vance? should i go to another lab or change method?

[freakingout2012]

Hello lizzie,and all
1st test no reason for reactive?
Could test method or place be the problem?
Sorry for the many questions. i appologize if too repetiton.

[Vance2335]

Discount 1st test, was done way too soon. So even if it was positive it would be meaningless from this exposure.

[LIZZIE LOU]

your test at 84 days was conclusive...PROVING that you don't have hiv.

further testing is not needed.
