My original reply said "Another HIV antibody test at 6-8 weeks after your extramarital event would prove with 100% certainty you don't have it." This is such a test. You can rely on the result and do not need any more testing. If you remain concerned, re-read my replies above and believe them.
That will end this thread. It's time for you to believe the science and the reasoned reassurance you have had, and to move on and stop worrying about your regretted sexual decision. I won't have any further comments or advice. Good luck to you.
43 days post unigold recombigen 10min...results negative ..what do u think? ?..and can u tell me a little about this test
I understood.
There won't be a long string of additional comments as you had in the community forum. There is no additional information that might come to mind that would change my opinion or advice. Feel free to post a final HIV test result, but nothing more until then.
Just to clarify it was in when it broke ..not almost it was in and out
Thank u sir ..i will try to be calm..and take another at the 8week mark..just gets me thinking about my past and then just my recent exp
The statistical chance your partner was in the window period for HIV is nearly zero. You really needn't be worried at all.
Thank you for the reply it made me feel better ..I am in the usa and my partner did a test it was neg but then i go online and someone from forum tells me he could be in window ..and then i think about all my partners when i was younger and it just fuels my fear..ive bugged my partner everyday about it and he would try to calm me down and tell me your ok ..were both neg..my spouse got mad because i want to use protection ..im afraid of hurting him
I saw this before replying above. Congratulations on the negative results.
Welcome to the forum.
You're obviously having trouble believing or understanding the advice you have had in multiple responses on the HIV community forum, and you're obviously very anxious about a sexual choice you apparently regret. But don't confuse that with HIV risk. They aren't the same.
If you are in the US, the chance your partner had HIV is very low, certainly under one chance in 1,000 (assuming he has no special HIV risk factors, like being gay or an injection drug user). And even if he had HIV, the chance of infection from a single exposure is very low -- especially since vaginal sex was protected, the condom breakage was immediately recognized during anal, and oral sex carries virtually no risk. All things considered, even without an HIV test, the odds you caught HIV were no higher than 1 chance in a million. And your negative HIV antibody test at 35 days is over 90% reliable. Therefore, your overall risk of having caught HIV is no higher than 1 in 10 million -- i.e. zero for practical purposes.
Your negative HIV test also proves that all the symptoms you describe here, and in the community forum, are not due to HIV. If they continue to bother you, of course see a doctor about them, but stop worrying about HIV. They also do not suggest any other STD, and your negative syphilis and hepatitis tests show you don't have them either.
Another HIV antibody test at 6-8 weeks after your extramarital event would prove with 100% certainty you don't have it. But in the meantime, you can safely resume sex with your husband without worry. If I were in your situation, I would never have stopped having sex with my wife and would have no fear of infecting her, and I wouldn't even have had any HIV/STD testing.
Really, you have nothing to worry about. If you have another HIV test, you can definitely expect it to remain negative.
