when would you say most people are postive?
a doctor on here said 95% will be positive by 6 weeks
if you were in our situations, would you say we didnt have HIV after our negative tests?
There is no figure out there to give,.
How many people who test HIV negative at 6 weeks using a 4th or 3rd generation test will test postive after 6 weeks or at the 12 weeks conclusive test?
Just a rough but accurate figure would be re assuring....
many thanks lizzie
good luck man :)
keep us posted on what happens, im very nervous with mine as well
I read most people who are HIV + will be at average 25 days on blood test, so yours at 6 weeks, like mine, looks good :)
remember this FEAR next time you choose to have unprotected sex ! ! !
Thank you you so much...i quess i'll find out next week....very depressive though...all the waiting, fear of the unknown....
Nothing causes a delay in antibodies it is just each person is different.
Why negative one week and then positive next week...just based on the persons body and antibody producation. No rhyme or reason. But 3 month is conclusive.
Thank you so much for your reply...it has been a nightmare all these weeks... i am going for my 12 week test next week...
i am so scared.....
i do understand what you said to me Lizzie that 6 week test is a good indication of my status...and i do find a bit of comfort with that, BUT i am still scared of my 12 week test......
What couses a delay....in producing detectable antibodies?
WHY be negative one week THEN be positive in the next week?
symptoms...or lack thereof...do NOT diagnose hiv. not everyone experiences symptoms of infection.
your 6 weeks test is a good indication of your status...but you MUST follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result.
