Test results - 2 different
Hello everyone,
It is 7 months after the exposure. I had a HIV Duo quick test (biomerioux) after 16 days which was negative. After 7 months (today) I had a second test. I did it in the same clinic in the same manner so I assume they did hiv duo again. I received information back that it was "slightly" reactive from the doctor but since it is already 7 months he assumes nothing is wrong.
In my panic I did a test in another clinic VIKIA hiv 1/2 biomerieux which was negative. Have to wait 2 days for the retest in the first clinic. You can imagine how nervous I am.

Good news for you! You never had a risk for HIV. The only way people get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles. Protected sex is not a risk and oral whether unprotected or protected is never a risk. So, your negative test would be expected and will change because of NO RISK.

Thank you for the reply GuitarRox. Response on one of the tests did scare me though.
Just to update. I checked and my first negative hiv duo quick test was after a month.
