High risk exposure
Hi,
to make my story short, i had a high risk exposure (receptive anal) with a man who found out he was positive some days after our encounter. I have had all the symptoms in the book, except for the rash. Its been hell theis pasto four months. Ive taken 4 duo tests. 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. All negative. Thank god.
Do you guys think that due to my high risk exposure and all of my symptoms should i take one final test at 6 months? or am i defenetly 100% in the clear?

Teak,
So, even if in the case of Jacob, you would fully accept the 3 month window period?
The CDC does not refer to 6 months anymore in their guidelines?
Why for health workers, there are guidelines for testing up to 12 months?

for people like us, I don't understand why we are not offered a PCR-DNA test. That would definitely rule out infection, right? Teak, Lizzie, anyone else to comment?
Hi,
I understand your concern. I have been in a similar situation. Last test was at 13 weeks and negative. But still I am not fully reassured (because I had a very high risk exposure like you, receptive anal sex with a person very likely to be positive, however he doesn't want to confirm this to me).
Did the guy ejaculate inside you?
I wish someone could guarantee that the 3 months window is truly conclusive, and not 'very reassuring for more than 99% BUT....).
Could someone please ask the doctors about the 6 months window still to be applied for some 'high risk cases' like us...

Thank you very much vance for your words. Can anyones else give me their opinion? teak, lizzie or anyone else.
My last test was a duo Antibody + p24 antigen, 4 months post exposure. It was negative!
Do i need a 6 month test due to my high risk exposure and my symptoms?

Ok, just wanted to establish if you had a risk or not.
Your 12 week test was conclusive and you went beyod and had a 16 week test and yes it is beyond conclusive. You do not have HIV.
6 months is not a guideline used anymore and has not been used since 2004. Just about everyone here talks about symptoms...they are meaningless. Tests trumph all.
