Am I Negative
Hi, I had a risk situation happen at 10 1/2 weeks ago... I went in @ 8 days and received a NAAT test that was Negative... I was also put on PEP for one month... My test results for the past 10 1/2 weeks have all been negative... NAAT and HIV Rapid Test have been run... Currently I am waiting for my final NAAT Results and am nervous... Is a Negative Rapid @ 10 1/2 weeks pretty conclusive? Should I be worried I am going to turn Positive? Thanks
Sorry I had meant to say a Rapid Blood test, Oral one, and a NAAT all coming back Negative is a good sign? Over the past 10 1/2 weeks is promising?
Western Blot tests are confirmative tests used for confirming a positive test result. If you were given a WB test you need to go to another doctor that knows what they are doing.
Thanks... But having a Western Blot, Rapid, and Naat all coming back Negative is a very good sign, right?
***excuse me correction 3 months after you took your last pep is the conclusive result.
As far as a ELISA test, the window period begins after you finish taking the PEP. 6 months after you last took the PEP.
The same goes for a NATT. But you must remember the PEP can cause a false POZ on the NATT test. So its best to stick with an ELISA.
