Thank you for your replies! So there isn't even a need to test at 12 weeks? I woke up this morning with my right lymph node in my chin hurting every time I swallow, and the rash on my penis keeps coming back after Ive been told theres nothing sti wise! Thats why my head keeps putting myself back in those thoughts of what if! But if results at 28 days are conclusive then I will accept it?!
As I already stated, you had no risk and did not even need a test in the first place. Any tests you take at any time are conclusive because NON risks like yours don't have any window period.
"non reactive on the tests they both said HIV serology and ab / ag test, does anyone know what that means?"
This is a 4th generation test. Looks for a p24 antigen and antibodies. It found neither. If you had an actual risk this test would be considered conclusive by many HIV experts.
Also, wk 3 you mentioned symptoms. "if" this was actually ARS, the test you took 2 wks and 2 days later should be enough time for detectable antibodies being this would have been a sign your immune system was reacting to an hiv infection.
So with all I just wrote and what the members have been telling you, you should look elsewhere for what you're going through.
Relax about the HIV, the unnecessary anxiety isn't helping.
Yes I know as I have seen Ther posts with ur reply!
It's just my symptoms that keep making me say what if.
Would 5 and a half weeks be fairly accurate if it was the case of contracting it?
Thank you for ur responses! So my test result at 5 weeks and 2 days would be conclusive? And does that mean I should even bother testing again at 12 weeks?
You had no risk and didn't need a test. But since you did have a test that was conclusively negative, that proves that you don't have HIV.
Trust me I've been where you are and still feel the anxiety. Keep your head up and just get tested accordingly. You've probably read about 4th gen tests. Some experts say it's conclusive at 4 weeks while not official. You had a 4th gen test coupled with post 28 days and the fact of your low/no risk encounter I would rest easy if I were you and just have one test at the official 12 week to help with your anxiety.
the nurse in my local gum clinic told me oral posed no specific risk and i reckon your neg test at 5 weeks and 2 days wont change, i just wish i had a neg test at 5 weeks to ease my nerves
