Negative result of rapid HIV test (fingerstick blood), 14 weeks!

by FDMD, Mar 21, 2008 06:18PM
How about this result? Do I need test again sometime?

I heard about that this rapid HIV test couldn't test HIV-2, how can I do for HIV-2?

Thanks!

you have a conclusive negative and do not need to test again UNLESS you have an exposure in the future.

Thanks for your reply, how can I exclude the possibility of HIV-2?

I had an unprotected vaginal sex with an unfamiliar girl, I don't want to do this again in the future!
