Concerend at trsting results
Firstly, the assistance and support you guys give is invaluable. You are to be congratulated.
About a year ago I had a drunken encounter with a sex worker. I believe although am not sure it was protected.
I subsequently contracted molluscum. To be sure i was ok otherwise i had a Hiv test and other sti tests after 6 months. The y all came back negative. I was still concerend and was worried about a possible false negative and then had another test done at 9 months this was also negative. The molluscum doesnt seem to go away. I am worried that I could have had two false negatives. Would love to hear your thoughts on the chances.

Thanks for the support.
It's a strange thing, most of us here asking questions probably know the answers, We just need someone else to say it. Hopefully I can move on and do some more productive things. I think we worry about it so much it's hard to accept when we finally come out of the nightmare. You deserve medals for the good work you do!!

Thanks for the prompt answer.
My concern is that i have used the same testing centre twice. They may have a poor quality control on their test. I am in a low prevalence area so they wont see many if any positives. Do most testing centres run tests to show theri test is working IE how do they know it is Fnctioning and screening correctly?

RELIABLE AND CONCLUSIVE...you do not have hiv.
if you are having health concerns, work with your doctor...its NOT hiv related.
