Enough is enough. You did not have a risk of contracting HIV from masturbation.

Hey Dubai-dude,
Okay, I have been watching this post today and couldn't resist posting.
1. You were tested on a IV gen Test, it packages AB and AG together. Now, I will get a little technical to explain you the effectiveness of this test - The average time to sero-convert is 7-14 days post exposure, 7 days post sero-conversion the AB is almost always detected, that sums up the whole math to 14+7 days = 21 days. Another 7 days of buffer and the IV gen test is at it's best now because if the body has already sero-converted the AB is detected and if the body is sero-converting the AG would be detected. In your case the AB detection was doing it's job but the AG was ineffective because AG at 42 days is practically impossible.In a nutshell, your test result is highly indicative and when you back your test with a final one a the 12th week you should only expect another negative.
I think what I wanted to ask you is that Do they actually test the blood? Coz I'm thinking they said they take it to a diagnostic lab outside. Dont you think that when a positive result is confirmed then they are obliged by law to report to the authorities or else they risk getting their licence suspended.
Thanks a million. I checked it out. Are their tests reliable? As in they dont just draw blood and send everyone a negative report?
Thanks all

Thanks for the information. I got no way of testing again over here. So I think I'll take my chances anyway.
Good luck to you all and be safe too.
Una prueba de 4 ª generación Ab / Ag a las seis semanas es determinante para el francés, el Inglés para cuatro semanas.
Nadie que haya obtenido un resultado negativo de una prueba de cuarta generación en seis semanas, se ha convertido en positivo más tarde.
Una tercera prueba de la generación se considera fiable en un 99% en seis semanas, 1% podría seroconversión entre seis y doce semanas.
@ jmgarcia: The reason we use 3 months here, is because that is the point at which the tests' results are deemed conclusive.
@ Distressed: I don't say this to alarm you, so please don't be. But since you ask, yes, I do know someone who tested negative at the 6 week mark and went on to test positive at the 3 month test with confirmation afterword (or so he claims, anyway - he intended to test at 6 months also). I'm not sure how truthful this person was being, however. Bottom line, a 3 month antibody test will more accurately gauge your HIV status, so take the good advice given to you by Vance and Teak. Good luck to you.
Thanks a lot for your responses. I'll update you guys on the outcome of antibody test if i get achance to do one.
I'm in trouble always when I use a condom with my wife.
She's suspicious of me (though rightly)
Wish me luck guys.
I am very optimistic after reading JM Garcia's response.
Thanks man.
PS
Has anyone ever heard of a 7 week negative result changing to positive in a healthy person with no previous history of chemo or immuno altering treatment regument at any given time?
HIV Doctors MedHelp International, say that an HIV test DUO AB / AG, is 99,89% conclusive at 4 weeks.
HIV testing in France 4th Generation AB / AG, is 100% conclusive at 6 weeks, if its sensitivity is <50 mg / ml.
Here follow the CDC recommendations, which are very conservative, thirteen weeks.
There is NO TEST that is marketed or sold that will give a conclusive HIV test result earlier than 3 months.
Thanks man
Two days ago was day 48 for me and I took the combo test (antibody and antigen) result was negative. According to Dr. HH, 6-8 weeks is good enough?
Remember I live in a country where I cant really take a chance to do test. I will be deported immediately without even being given a chance to pack.
Thanks for your response
1. A test that early is really useless...3 months is conclusive
2. No because the majority of them don't even fall within the time frame and they are not ARS symptoms.
3 months with an antibody test. This is the only test and time that will give you a conclusive result.
