The original poster didn't have an exposure.

FACT: A duo test can't give a conclusive negative test any earlier than a standard HIV test.

An HIV DUO is 99.89% reliable at 4 weeks--FACT.

Move on you do not have any idea what you are talking about. More so than that you don't know anything about HIV or testing.

Teak - not trying to 'spam' as you say chap. The three month window period is stated as is the Duo test concusivity that is confimred by Dr HHH & EWH on this very site. (They confirm four weeks)

Appreciate my answers are more long winded than your but this person is looking for some reassuarance.

I went through plenty of anxiety over HIV myself. Your test is so so reassuring, three months is the 'official' windoow period although almost every Dr I spoke to through my anxiety said 6-8 weeks is conclusive with a 3rd gen test.

I would suggest you take a 4th gen test (Duo) at any point this week and that will be 100% conclsive, - it will come back negative!!

The test can be your bench mark to move on, book it, get your result and enjoy your negative result!!

Can i ask one last question Teak?
(I'm after professional mental help, but i know you know what ur talking about and it would help a bit)

I know you said i have no risk, and slowly im starting to believe that. BUT i have one last question.

If someone is stuck with a used syringe, but nothing is injected in the body, would they be at risk, It has to be directly into a vein to infect doesnt it?

its an odd question i know, but it'll help me to understand something that i've been confused about.

could you please explain why or why not this is a risk

I swear no more questions after this one.

You being healthy does not have anything to do with contracting HIV.
