Again you posted incorrect information. MOVE ON.
All generation tests that are being used are conclusive at 3months. The Dr's on this site even think that is too high.
Different countries have different window periods for HIV. For example, some 6 weeks, most 12, while minority 24.
In my country, the window period for HIV is 24 weeks post-exposure, therefore I go by that.
Let me put it in a simpler way.
6 weeks (1.5 months) - Very accurate
12 weeks (3 months) - Extremely accurate
24 weeks (6 months) - Optional, but feel free to do a final confirmation if you're still worried.
I hope that helps.
You have over tested. No need to test...you are 100% sure with your tests.
There is no reason to test again at 6 months, 3 months is conclusive and plenty enough time to detect antibody if indeed you were positive. You do not have HIV
at my place docotors say that if it is negative after 6 months then only its confirm.So all the tests i did are not valid or useful in determiing my status??u also say test at 24 weeks.
It's not necessary. However, to be 100% sure, please feel free to do a final test on the 24th week post-exposure.
is it necessary to test again at 6 months??
Hello, jeanpaul27.
You're safe. A 16-week western blot test is more than enough to determine your status.
