Hello, I am male.....1st week of March 2013 we got to know that my Girlfreind is Hiv Positive.
We been together for 1 year. Basically i always practised Safe Sex with her. But as usual Human Error can happen for 1 year sex with her (i.e Condom Breakage or Slip) which i pray didn’t happen...When we met she wasn’t Positive....She mite have gone out when i was out of town starting of this year 2013. I mainly travel 2 weeks a month.

Now from then its like am sitted on a Time Bomb.
Have tested like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 weeks and recently 9 weeks and 4 days...all Negative !!
I have read in many forum as 3 months (12 weeks) is conclusive
Also read 8 weeks is conclusive.

1) My question are.....what do u think can i conclude this that i am negative??
2) Can the results in coming week change ??
Thanks

take an antibody test at 3 months to get your conclusive result.

[raju105]

with a modern third generation hiv test which detects not only IgG but also IgM  antibody. IgM  is the first antibody produced by human body in response to antigen(hiv) that is  not detected by first and second generation hiv test.therefore third generation ELISA has a shorter window period of 4-6weeks. after 6 weeks the  test detects over 99%of infection. so a 10 week test is almost 100% but as per  official guidelines a third generation test at or after 12 weeks would defininetly exclude infection. also the risk of hiv is 1 in 1000 per heterosexual act multiply this by your accuracy of 10 weeks test, it would be 1 in 1000000. so the odds are in your favour. good luck

so shud i conclude this or still hit the clinic for more tests?

[LIZZIE LOU]

you dont need a duo at this point...the antibody part of the test is all that is needed.

[xavier0]

Is Duo test same as Determine Antibody 1/2 test?

[LIZZIE LOU]

expect a negative ! ! !

[xavier0]

......10 weeks....(results negative).....Determine !! (HIV 1/2 Antibody) Hope it doesnt change in coming weeks....

[LIZZIE LOU]

it's "possible"...but HIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY unlikely

[xavier0]

Can the results in coming week change ??

You keep asking the same thing over and over and over again. As you were told your test is unlikely to change, but 3 months is conclusive.

Not all people have ARS symptoms. Symptoms or lack of will not tell you anything about your HIV status.

[xavier0]

When wud the sickness start??? if infected???

[imondis]

Your test is unlikely at all to change a duo test at 28 days is considered 99.8% correct. So i would not stress at all! Good luck :D

[xavier0]

[xavier0]

Imondis...thanks....i havent tested for 12 week....still on nineth week...entering tenth !!!

[imondis]

3 months will give you an inclusive result, which is ur 12 week test. Your results are highly unlikely to change.

3 month post your last unprotected sex will give you your conclusive test result.
