Good news for all.....Comprehensive question

[qhss81]

Dear all,
I have came back again to give a reilable answer as usally and a pice of minde for everyone need help including me if THE GOD Wants THAT.
However.....by email with one of the famouse centers in the world... MASSACHUSTTSE CENTER that agree with Dr HHH and HOOK ......they have been saying as:

NOTE: I have asked about window period for HIV and who may wait longer than 6 weeks or get test at 3th month to get test and why CDC always say that? Is 3 month=12 weeks or 13 weeks? And I have also asked about STDs transfer (BLOOD TO BLOOD BY NEEDLE).




Hi,



Thank you for your questions. An HIV test is looking for HIV antibodies (your body’s response to having a virus). In order for a test to be accurate, you need to give your body enough time to make enough antibodies to show up on a test. In the general population (over 99%), it takes up to 6 weeks to produce a detectable amount of antibodies (for some people, it takes even less time). There is, however, a small percentage of people (<1%) who have weak immune systems from things such as chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, and from being on immunosuppressant drugs (i.e. after an organ transplant) whose bodies might take up to 3 or 6 months to make a detectable amount of antibodies. The CDC will recommend a 3 month window period for a number of reasons, one being that it will ensure that the test is accurate for everyone, including that small group of people who need to wait longer than 6 weeks.



The only STDs that are transmitted through blood-to-blood contact are HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. Many people have STDs and never experience symptoms, so many times the only way to know is to get tested. Going 90 days and not experiencing symptoms is a pretty good sign, but the only way to know for sure is if you are tested for any STDs you think you were at risk for.



I’m not sure what you mean by your last question. Three months is roughly 12 weeks, yes.

Thank You,

NOTE :
Maybe someone is asking , OKay man  this MASS REPLY ..... I am going to tell them , READ THIS REPLY from CDC TO ME ABOUT THE WINDOW PERIOD it has 100% same answer as MASS regarding about the VERY RARE CASE.

CDC SAID:

"Most people develop antibodies within 2 to 8 weeks. The average is 25 days. Ninety-seven percent will develop antibodies in the first 3 months. In rare cases, it can take up to 6 months. " CDC SAID.


" In extraordinarily rare cases, if an individual's immune system for some reason does not make excess antibodies, the standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test for HIV antibodies would not detect unbound antibodies. In addition, we are forwarding your inquiry to the CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention for their information. If they have any additional information or questions they will contact you directly."CDC SAID.





Hope that help.

Dear friend,
Don't be worried about that if you have a healthy immune system .
They said that to me regarding the test after 6 weeks.

"If you are a relatively healthy person, you can consider your results conclusive after 6 weeks"MASS said.

Hope this help you.

Very informative, thanks.
Btw, did question them on the rarest possibility of testing positive only after 6 months, just wanna see their view on this.Thanks

So Mass say 99% at 6 weeks. CDC say 97% at 3 months?
Which is what we know already.

Thank you for this man. It is good to get a second (or third) opinion, especially when it helps to put people at ease. And this is very encouraging information for many people on here. Thank you again!
