HIV Test

[sixtwo]

I had unprotected sex in January and took the at home test kit (Home Access) two months later. It turned up to be negative. I know this question is asked alot but I just have to hear it again.  I have read that it can take up to 3 months for the antibodies to show up. What are the chances (percentage wise) that my test result would be positive after testing negative after 2 months?

None.  I'm not going to repeat all the reasons that have been repeatedly stated on this forum.

I won't delete the follow-up comments before my reply, but please take any further discussion over the the HIV Support Forum.

First off, I'm a female, not a "dude." Dr. HHH what do you think?

female or "dude" (dude is what i say...female or male) does not change anything.....2 months is great and the doc will tell you that.

You probably didnt require any testing in the first place.
6 weeks would have been enough, 2  months is as good as you will get.
