I have a question about ANTIBODIES, & when their made.
People say ARS can show up to 8 weeks and antibodies might not start to be produced until 3 months. Im worried because I tested a week earlier than the the 12 week mark.
And BTW, If I did have a risk them 4 days wouldnt MAKE A DIFFERENCE correct? 11.5 & 12 is almost the same therefor it'll be the same result. I read an 11 week result is over 99% accurate & a 12 week doesnt change in accuracy.
Yeah I figured even If I did have a risk It was low due to the time. & I never felt a "in and out" sensation you know? So it's possible I wasn't penetrated but theres a BUT, I'm still unsure as I felt pressure, but even If I did have a risk I was curious of how good my 11.5 week test was! Thanks so much!
The experts docs and most posters would consider oral a very low, to no risk event. Second, anal penetration would be required in order for you to have been exposed through that route.Quite frankly, I would not worry and many would say you have no risk.
My exposure was quick, when I mean quick , 4-8 seconds. I gave oral and I let a guy rub his penis on my anus, there was pressure and Im not sure if I was penetrated, but I came to my senses and left before I went any further.
11.5 weeks vs 12 weeks. A few days is not going to matter. Most new infections will be caught between 6-8 weeks. You don't go into detail on your exposure. But, most would consider your 11.5 week negative test as conclusive.
Its about 3-4 weeks (now) from when I took that test. So your saying I should test now? But it'll still be negative? HOPEFULLY.
If u need it wait a week and test again just to have ur mind clear but do not expect a change in ur result
It was taken at 11.5 weeks (79 Days), So I should move on & I'm fine? Not sure which generation but it was a standard blood test along with other STD's.
