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.
Regards,
Stop spamming the forum with incorrect information.
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've never had an exposure.
no no, it was a 3rd gen antibody test, i just said i was healthy as i dont have a suppressed immune system. thats all i meant. I know 3 months is conclusive but i was just wondering how often you see a 6 week change
You being healthy does not have anything to do with contracting HIV.
