Worried please help
Hi doc I had unprotected vagina sex with sex worker on 8th of March , after 2 weeks had HIV fast test at New Zealand aids foundation the result showing negative ( they told me the fast test test ag and ab) and after another 2 weeks which is 7th of Apr I had full blood test also my doc told me test are ag and ab showing negative result , but she still recommend I do 12 weeks test, I was wondering what chance after 4weeks the result will change ? However I will go to nzaf again to get 40 days test , that almost 6 weeks , I am so worried ,dose any advice? Please help me thanks
Sorry my bad , as you mean I don't have hiv infection this time ? I will never do any stupid things anymore
You were never told in New Zealand that you didn't need further testing. 12 weeks post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive test result.
Hello teak , I had my 40 days test done, the result is negative , they told me the fast test is the 4th generation , test both ag and ab , 12 weeks test not necessary , is that good news? Any advice , thanks for your help, and happy Easter .

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results
