HIV testings are not exactly the same worldwide. Each countries has there own specific guidelines inregards to testings, Obviously those who devised and approved these guidelines have enough data to support their recommendations.

I'm not here to say / judge one's guidelines compared to others. Ok, If someone calculates 3 months as 84 days versus 90 days, does that mean that his calculation is right and conclusive compare to the other one? If someone is ok with the 84 days result what about a negative in 83 days?....If experts here says 83 days is conclusive then I'm sure there will be someone would be asking for 82.5 days result.....

You always have the option where to believe but the fact still remains that wherever you are, whatever calculations you do - still the 3 months mark remains the Golden standard.

Dude, your 12 week test  more than conclusively establishes your HIV status. You are NOT HIV+. If you keep beating around the bush and try to find symptoms, there is no end to it.  Drop this fear and move on with your life.
