3 months test
i was wonder how conclusive the 3 month antibody test is. i tested negative 5 months post exposure. i recently developed pneumonia and i read on the internet that thats an early indication of an infection? any truth? please help. i thought i was done with worrying.
then how come some people and that stupid CDC webpage 6 months is the 100% conclusive? :S theres way too many figures out there
Pneumonia is an infection itself, has nothing to do with HIV.
A 3 month test picks up 97% of infected people. The remaining 3% had previous health issues (cancer, chemo, immune disorders) and is very rare.
Your 5 month test is beyond conlcusive, you dont have HIV. Get over it already and if you cant you need to seek counseling. You cant go through life thinking you have HIV everytime you get sick. Pneumonia has been around much longer than HIV has.
