Testing Results

[dkjman]

Due to original high risk sexual incident and continued lymph node tenderness in several different locations in body, I went for an another hiv test (rapid blood) today. Previous tests at 6 and 14 weeks were negative. Today's test was 19 weeks since unprotected sex incident.  Test was negative. Nurse at health dept. said to come back Sept 1 for six months testing and that I needed to see doctor about lymph nodes.

Comments?  Can I move on?  Ready to move on.

So, what did the nurse diagnose of your Generalized persistent lymph nodes? If that is the term for that.

[Teak]

Move on.

sorry for vague and missleading

[joggen]

Your original statement was vague and misleading concerning 'medicine or drugs' and not relevant to the original poster's concerns, but thanks for clarifying.

[solosaram]

bro i was mean the medicine which effect on immune system and same also about chimical drugs which do the same effect.but thx for information

[joggen]

Should read: Even people who take PEP don't need to test beyond three months after their last dose of PEP

[joggen]

NO. Taking medicine doesn't affect the window period except possibly cancer chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs.

Even people who take PEP don't need to test beyond three months.

i speak about realty not what this fourm think.yes 3 months is conclusive but what about 6 months??it's needed when u take medicine or u r drugs adicated to repeat the test in 6 months

[joggen]

3 months is conclusive and is what this forum goes by.

[solosaram]

if u take medicine or drugs.so yes u need 6 months test.but change result from negative to postive from 3 months to 6 months really so rare

[Teak]

You don't need a 6 month test. As you were told you ae conclusively negative.

[Vance2335]

14 weeks was enough to give you a conclusive negative. Move on.
