Hi, its 90% reliable and 8 weeks post exposure is a good indicator.
Today i got the negative results for all STD testing & including HIV. However i have the following questions, can you please clarify on the same.
1. How reliable HIV test after 30 days of post exposure( for my case HIV 1/2 Antigen/ antibody 4th generation test)
2.I can see the following in test results
* HSV 1/2 IGG Herpes Select AB 4.70 - Out of range. What does this mean?* Also In first page it shows IN Range is 0.13 & 0.05.
3.Do i need to retest after 6 weeks to get an accurate results?
I am bit confused can you please clarify these.
your other post showed that they did also do a type specific herpes igg blood test and both were negative but since the testing was done far too early, it will need repeated at the appropriate time.
Thanks Grace. I will close out other post.
Also I am planning to take a complete test again on 11th week. Is that time would be right a time to test ???
Wait until 12-16 weeks for herpes and syphilis testing.
Please help me understand my hiv 1/2 igg test. My story is short. Same partner for the last 8 years. Neither ever had or shown a symptom for anything. 2 children together and was clear on standard std testing. We separated 6 months ago. For the last 3 months I've been orally active with another man. He has never sexy ally touched me. A week after I gave him oral he said he got a burning sensation in his groin. He tested negative for everything. I went and tested.
Hiv 1 and 2 antibodies came back non reactive
Hiv 1 came back with a 32.0 index
hiv 2 came back with a 1.63 index.
Still have no signs or symptoms of anything other then mind screwing myself.
Please someone explain this to me. All my other tests were negative
You can repeat syphilis testing after the 6 week mark, herpes, hepatitis and hiv after 3 months post encounter to have accurate testing done.
You had a combined herpes igg blood test done which is not helpful at all. There is no way to know if you were + due to hsv1 or hsv2. When you repeat your testing, make sure type specific herpes igg blood testing is ordered.
