1. Are there instances where the virus might become dormant and a rapid clearview test wouldn't  pick it up?

2. So long as you are post 3 months and test and you are negative...you are clear?

3. Will an hiv infected person ALWAYS test positive on rapid antibody test?

Thanks!

Chemotherapy patients may take longer to seroconvert but that doesn't apply to you so don't worry about it.

HIV diagnosis is very straightforward and the tests used to diagnose HIV are one of the most reliable diagnostic tests out there, medically speaking.  It's very simple.  If you don't test + by 3 months, it's impossible for you to have HIV.  There's no other medical condition, medication, ANYTHING that will mask the results.

No that does not make a difference.

Yes i did. Ok, just wanted to make sure there isnt a disease that prevents hiv from coming up on a test......so long as i waited 3 months im ok? I do have hpv does that make any difference?

You tested negative 3 months post exposure? You don't have HIV.

I guess to explain myself is....i am afraid what if i have a disease that prevents hiv rapid teats from picking it up altho i can possibly still have the virus......i have tested at 3 month mark with clearview came out negative...i also did an rna negative

By 3 months.

[Confusednsocal]

So it will always be positive?

[Teak]

By 3 months post exposure.

[Confusednsocal]

Can you answer question 3 please?

[Teak]

3 months post exposure is conclusive.
