HIV seroconversion
I have had three times unprotected vaginal sex (once he came inside me) with a man that I trusted but who proved to be a liar and a player. I checked myself for STDs and had an HIV antibody test at about 7 weeks from the last exposure. Everything was negative. From what I am reading I understand that the HIV test before 3 months is innacurate. I am scared and I cannot even work properly as I have to wait till August when I will travel abroad to have a second test done. Where I currently live if one is found positive one ends up in jail or is deported. I am going crazy.
dont worry as your 7 week negative test is a very good indication of your status..
drHHH in the expert forum says that he has never seen anyone who tests negative at 6-8 week,go on to test positive later..so the odds are on your side..
most people who got infected will test positive by 7 weeks..anyways you still have to repeat a test at 3 months as that is the guideline..most likely your result will not change..
never go unprotected in the future
