Hi, Doctor, I have question 1. I recently did 4th generation HIV test on 15 weeks after before my 4th generation test on 11 weeks I test myself at home for HIV I came negative now I want to know do I need to test again at 6 mo? 2. Why do some websites recommend 6 mo testing ? 3. what can delay production of antibody inside my body? your answer can take a big amount of annuity from my shoulders. Thank you.
Late seroconversion is an old myth. Any test is conclusive after 3 months, but some sites use outdated guidelines. We are not affiliated with them, so do not analyze why they use old guidelines, since we rely on the opinion of expert doctors.
