Hiv test accuracy
Hallo Again. I got tested negative on HIV. Antigen antibody 4.th generation test in Germany.
The exposure (the sexual contact to the other person) was at minimum 8 to 12 weeks before the test. Really minimum.
I smoked weed daily. Can this influence my immunsystem so it don't produce p24 antigens or antibodies?
That would mean that's every drug addicted would have too wait very long until he can test himself conclusively?
I hope you understand my problem.
In Germany they say the test is safe at 6 weeks.
Thx for your answer and sorry for my bad English.

Hi. Weed does not interfere with test accuracy. Your test is conclusive.

paul123sh is this the same oral "risk" that you posted about 6 times but were told you had no risk?
Yes. But also other exposures. As I were 15-17 years old
It doesn't even matter what your exposure was at this point. Your test is conclusive. NO more testing - you are HIV-negative.
Thank you all for your answers. Everyone of you. Now just me and my mind has to calm down. Thanks a lot.
