how confident should I be at this point....
Okay, I've had a 18 1/2 week (4 1/2 months) negative HIV test. But infectious doc says 6 month is 100% accuarte.
But again I'm going to raise the razor cut issue. She stated it would be case book reportable if I was infected by that cut. By then why is she suggesting I re-test at 6 months...??
Please advise.

Yes, it was an Infectious disease doc. And she told me that a test at 3 months is 99.9%. But 6 month is absolutely 100%.
Your ID doctor is not an infectious disease doctor if he told you 6 months. That is the old guidelines and was changed in 2004.

is this reunion day or something????
Yes, I'm still here... Just triple checking that I'm in the clear! There's truly no reason to be rude...
Especially with an Infectious Doc telling me it's not conclusive until 6 months.

Are you seriously still here? 18.5 weeks is conclusive and the razor cut was not a risk. Find something else to worry about like if a lightning and a meteor were to hit you at the exact same time. Or better yet, look at what's really going on in your life, because HIV isn't the problem.
