Delayed Seroconversion
Hello.
I hate to bring up an old topic but it might be the easiest way to get over some anxiety, and get some information. I had an exposure in January, and I decided to take the proper precautions and get tested.
At 14 weeks, 19 weeks, and 25 weeks, I took HIV antibody tests and they came back negative. I tested out to 6 months just to make sure.
Also, at 14 weeks I had a Hepatitis C antibody test, at 19 weeks Hepatitis C PCR, and at 25 weeks another Hepatitis C PCR....all Negative, or "Not Detected'.
Should I worry about Hep C or HIV delaying the antibodies of another? Or would you say that my negative tests out to 6 months are conclusive?
Thanks!
