3 months is the minimum for an absolutly conclusive result (100% accuracy), but between 6-8 weeks you will get a highly accurate result (minimum 95%) and chances are very slim that the results will change between then and the 3 month period. Of course though, it is still wise to follow it up with a conclusive 3 month test just to be sure.
really? i had never heard that. everywhere i looked on line seemed to say it HAD to be three months.
it is slightly reassuring cos i've been struggling to imagine how i'd survive the next 10 to 12 weeks. i will get tested sooner, for sure, then go back for a conclusive result.
thank you again.x
at 6-8 weeks 95% of those who are positive would show at that time but 3 months is the conclusive result.
thank you.
can i ask......is there any chance of a positive result showing up as early as six weeks?
i always thought it had to be three months before you were likely to get an accurate result?
you have engaged in a risky act. unprotected sex with unknow stauts partners is always risky. I would advice you test at 6 weeks past the last encounter to get a good indication to your position and then test 3 months past the last exposure to get your conclusive results. I wish the best of luck and next time use condoms please.
