you came to this forum with a NO RISK situation AND a 16 week negative test result. time to move on ! ! !
Vance if peter is not updated himself plz let him not post comments.. he is doing some research let him do we are not bothered but why to give wrong information..
No Peter is not here to make things more complex or people more worried. I think he is just going by information which he has aquired which might not be as up to date as Teak, Nurse and others.
I feel peter is here to make people more worried i know experts here like nursegirl,teak, lizzie suggest a 3month conclusive Peter is making things more complex.. Please dont make people more tensed as it may lead to a distracted life ahead..
Suggesting to test every 6 months in the absence of a risk is irresponsible and a waste of money and/or resources.
OP---you didn't have a risk for HIV, therefore you do not require testing at all.

3 months is conclusive. They haven't used 6 months since 2004.
Hi Peter,
Let me make it clear, i was not drunken while having sex, i used the condom in proper way, your reply(confusing) states to do retest at the same time not to do, should i retest after 6months?????

Hi Teak, Thanks for your reply, i agree i was at no risk but do you suggest me to go for a test after 6months for confirmation is that required?, please reply..
You were never at risk..

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
