3 months

[timax231]

When the window period is mentioned as 3 months, 84 days or 90 days are meant?

Thanks to all and sorry to Teak if I made him upset

your test PROVES...without a doubt...that you do NOT have hiv ! ! !

further testing is NOT needed.

when you truly accept your negative status...all anxiety produced symptoms will disappear.

kindly move along...you do not have a hiv concern.

The clinic follows outdated guidelines.

Clinic is asking me to take a PCR and/or a test at 6 months again to be sure.
I am feeling I will die in fear and anxiety before that.
How many times will I test , it is so ... to wait for test,get tested and see the result...
Can anyone help me ...i don;t know how ...but can you ..by any means....

[ricky_id]

Sure you're HIV negative. Then those symptoms have nothing to do with HIV, they could be caused by your fear and/or another disease. No need of further HIV tests for you.

do I need further testing? Please reply

[timax231]

I have done the CMIA duo test (p24 antigen and hiv1/2 antibody) again on 91st day . It came negative.Earlier I got the negative from the same test on 75th day.
I still feel muscle , joint pain and weekness specially in legs and back since last one and half months , I also had sore throat but it is not there anymore.
Am I still under risk ?

[RainLover71]

Look,test again in 2 weeks and be done with it.Put your mind at ease.How are we supposed to answer a question like that.3 months allows enough time to detect the latent seroconverters.

[timax231]

Yes I understand that.
As I am in not in a good mental state presently , just trying to ***** the risk/chance.
Just want to know if anyone has seen or heard any such case where a 75th day negative turned out to be positive after 12 weeks provided the individual doesn't follow in the category of those people who are already immunosuppressed,cancer patient etc.

[RainLover71]

Its highly unlikely like you have already been advised but is possible thats why theres a window period of 3 months.

[timax231]

Hi Teak,
Can I test HIV positive after even received a negative CMIA ( duo ) test at 75th day?
My exposure was a single unprotected vaginal sex with an unknown partner.

[timax231]

LIZZIE what's your opinion on this?

[ricky_id]

Extremely unlikely to change if the one at 75 days negative but you still need to follow up.

[timax231]

Is 8 days before 84th day , i.e. a test ( duo test ) on 75th day is conclusive and if not what is the chance that result change to positive in 8 days?

[LIZZIE LOU]

both are considered conclusive
