due for 12 week test this weekend

My 9 1/2 week combo test is negative.

I am now due for my 12 week test this weekend.....
What could not be excluded as  ARS illness occured much later than average (at the end of 7 weeks). My TLC has always been on the lower side of the range (it was 4100/cumm during illness). This has added to my fears that I may be a late seroconverter. What are your suggestions regarding further testing.Would my ordinarily low TLC reflect a slower immune response? Can I expect a negative?

Your TLC has nothing to do with HIV. Now what was your risk that you are concerned about?

dear itsme, combo test is very very reliable, it detects hiv at a very early stage,even as early as 21 days, so i see absolutely no reason to worry as u are defanitely negative, that said to calm your mind take a ab test at 12weeks, and relax and move on, since YOU HAVE NO HIV AND U WILL BE NEGATIVE.

DUO tests are NOT conclusive until 3 months post exposure.
