MedHelp Member's Question

Is std testing 100% accurate?

by cbtc1, Nov 11, 2009 09:16AM

I have recently been tested for a battery of stds, including HIV/AIDS. I have not received the results yet. My Doctor said that the results are not absolute. Now what should I think? I have not been sexually active for 12 years, and have never shown any outward sign of any kind of outbreak, or discharge. I'm 54 yrs old and have had 4 partners between 1985 and 1997.

You have not had sex since 1997 and your testing now for all STD's and HIV...your tests are 100% conclusive. No clue why your Dr thinks they would not be.
Ask him and come back here and let us know what he says as to why not absolute.

Thanks for the response, I will. It's been a week now, so I hope to hear from the Doc soon.
