[Teak]

As it has been said several hundred time on this forum 3 months is conclusive.

That was addressed to coz, in relation to lostone-8's question - the ONLY question that should be discussed in his thread. If coz takes it that I'm referring to his situation in this thread then he shouldn't have thread jumped
Anyway I PMed coz advice particular to his situation to keep it out this thread..

What I wrote is the general advice given by the health protection agencies which is the advice on window periods that SHOULD be given because it's based on hard science,,  epidemiological studies and fact, not on repeating what others have written on medhelp..

The minimum window period continues to be 3 months but experienced clinicians will determine if further testing is required after that based on the risks and thir clinical assessment of the patient.

Back to the original poster's question.

some ppl just HAVE to always cast doubt on the forum...why?  i dont know.

you are as negative as negative can get.  there is NO NEED for further testing :)

Yes coz120, as alienshadow says 'nothing is 100%' and certainly not in any area of science or technology. What I can say with certainty is that an experienced clinician would be able to advise if follow up testing is required.
