ok thanks for your patience in me teak. but it should be much more reliable and easy to believe on if its on the cdc official website right? because if its their training manual it should be researchable on their website do you agree??
It's the CDC training manual. Geesh.
thanks teak. but how can i be sure its from cdc if i cant search it on their official website.
why this pdf file testing guide is not in the official cdc website
Then you aren't paying attention to the URL. http://www.cdc.gov/globalaids/Resources/pmtct-care/docs/TM/Module_6TM.pdf
Page 11
Now does it or does it not say, "cdc.gov?"
i do understand teak. but the link you gave me is not in the cdc official website. its just a pdf hiv testing guideline and how we can be sure its the guideline from cdc if its not in their website? and teak i read that most expert here stating that the window period is 3 months since 2004? do you have an article or somelink for it saying that cdc makes their hiv window period is 3 months? so i can rest my mind hope you understand and thanks for your kindness to help.
You were given them. Move along, there is no reason to keep going over it with you.
thanks but what i need is the basic guidelines of cdc about window period. because even doctors in diferrent clinics have diferrent opinions about this window period. so what i need is the direct link on the official website of cdc or fda stating that the window period is 3 months.
Any other experts here in this forum??? please. thanks
get tested after after 3 months...I was tested after 4 months and they still think i should retest at 4 months.....i guess they don't know if I am a cancer patient or sugar patient....but if you are a normal guy...get tested at 3 months..
thanks to all expert here in advance.. hope you can help me out here.. just quote me some links on the official guidelines experts here in this forum used
