Test Result

Hi everyone!  

I had a recent HIV antibody test done:

HIV 1/2 EIA AB Screen
HIV 1/2 EIA AB Screen w/ Reflexes

Both were Non-reactive. This was done at about 90-91 days post exposure. I tried to ask the corporation that performed the test (Quest Diagnostics - Seattle) what generation the test was and everyone I talked to didn't know. Can I consider my 90-91 day post-exposure test as 100% evidence that o DON'T have HIV?  Just been shooken up the past few months.

So I'm like freaking out. Going into my last test (Eia ~90 days post exposure) my Stensens ducts on each side of my inner cheeks seemed to be unnormal. I can feel the saliva coming out but they look like cuts. I dabbed my right one today and a little spec of blood was on the napkin. Is this a symptom of ars?  I may be self examining myself but I've tested and don't know what else this could be due to. Doubting my 2 test results (6 weeks and ~90 day EIA, both negative)

Yes and you are right. Playing with the odds is very dangerous. Only test in a right time tells the story.

We don't work with odds, if you have had an exposure odds won't tell you your status and we also go by how the manufaces tests were approved by the FDA.
