hi!
i had my hiv test last june 22,2010 the result was negative but i'm still confuse about the window period.i had an unprotected sex with the guy for almost 4 months from november to march 2010..my 1st exposure was november 25 and my last was march 3, 2010..i just want to k now if there's a possibility that i have the virus even if im negative with the test?
You are conclusive negative and have been repetedly advised. Antibotics or ibuprofen will not affect your test results.
thank you for answering my question,but for me to feel much better i really want to ask one more question.i had a minor foot injury last june 7,2010 and the doctor gave me ibuprofen for the pain and antibiotic called penicillin..i took it 3x a day for 1 week and then i had my test on hiv last june 22,2010 and as i've said to my first post it was negative..i just want to know if the medicines that doctor gave me can affect the result of my hiv test? i'm afraid that it has something to do with what they call seroconversion because my last exposure was march 3,2010..
The window period can be confusing. Things have changed in the past 10 years, and they will continue to change as the testing technology improves. There is a lot of old information still hanging around on the Internet though. That is where a lot of the confusion comes from.
Specifically to your case - you took a test 3 months after your last exposure. That test is definitive. So you are not infected with HIV.
