Can onset of Diabetes affect the HIV testing results. I had ICMA at 16 weeks and it came back negative also Home Access at 24 weeks was negative also. Can I be sure that the result is conclusive
Doesn't change a thing you never had an exposure.
just a minor correction the last exposure was in July 2012( unprotected oral and protected vaginal) and was tested in October 23 with ICMA from Labcorp which came back negative.I have tested almost to 22 weeks with Oraquick whic is also negative and hence the anxiety. I know test overrule symptoms. Is there a possibility that no antibodies are detected as this time from previous exposures.this will help in gaining my confidence or I can test again by oraquick or go for a blood test .
No you don't need any tests and a PCR-DNA test is not a diagnostic test.

Thanks for the reply. I did a ICMA test and it was not a DUO test. Do I need a DNA PCR with a antibody test to be sure. I have been having night sweats for last 2 years which have stopped as I have stopped drinking alcohol and also lost weight by about 15 % of my body weight on a low carb diet.
thanks
If you always use a condom then you had no risk and the tests back up that you don't have HIV.
