I mean we are freaking out because we wanna have a baby..please take the time out to help us out with answers thank you again guys for the help
I'm sorry teak she is just nervous just wanted to know that's all have a great night buddy n thanks for the info
What is it that you aren't comprehending? She doesn't have HIV, so what would keep you from having a child?
Just last question teak please can you answer so we can move on to having a child yes or no thanks again
Ok thanks teak just another question if this happen in the future again would she have to test again at 3 months not 6 months?
Sorry teak not really understanding that? So that means that her risk was high and needs to test again please I'm not trying to act wise just trying to learn about this risk that's all

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results
