Anyone test pos after 8 weeks/11 weeks/12 weeks?

I was concerned to know if anybody could answer if someone who tested negative then positive after those testing times. Most will agree that after the 8 weeks your chances go down and at 11/12/13 weeks negative you are pretty much in the clear. Just some pretesting anxiety.

mike, my exposure was very risky. Insertive anal sex.
How can I switch off my computer?

The best thing that I can suggest you guys here is, believe in what we are telling you that 3 month's conclusive and 6 weeks negative changing ahead is unheard and very unlikely.

Now, stop reading about HIV on the internet and switch off your computer.

I feel desperate.
I am reading hiv related subjects since July.
There is no certain answer for the window period. Then, I accept 6 months period to be 100% sure.
I might be wrong but while CDC is mentioning only 97 percent of people produce antibodies in three months, how can I relax?
Doc Bob from thebody.com says, if your partner is hiv positive, take the test at 6 months again.
This is the most stupid approach ever seen. Come on doc Bob. How can I know whether my partner is hiv positive or not..If I know she is hiv negative, I will be lving my life instead of writing to you.

Do they say this because drug users are still getting high and that interfers with the results accuracy, or is it because it takes longer for intraveinious conversions? I wish they would list the factors envolved. It amazing how vague everything still is at this point in time. The official is 3 months i know but most test pos within the first four weeks, then there is another group that will convert at  the 6-8 weeks mark, the majority. Then there are the people that take up until the 12 week mark which i've tested negative up to. I'm still concerned based on the symptoms i've experience plus the manor in which i was exposed that my next test will be pos, i hope i'm wrong but i'm still very concerned. I was utterly shocked at my 12 week negative, my doctor even got a little flustered when i questioned how certain they were that it was correct.

True.
But,
CDC recommends 6 months testing.
Some experts say 6 months testing is required for drug users, immune system disorders. However, CDC rejects this statement. I don't know what are they trying to do. Scare tactics or something like that.
On the other hand, the U.K government reported that, in 10 years of period, no one seroconverted after 3 months. The official window period for hiv is 3 months in U.K.
