Sadly alot of doctors don't know much about HIV, especially when it comes to window periods.Any HIV specialist will tell you that a negative test result at 3 months is final and conclusive.

[casper012]

i totally believe Rain , but why this Doctor told so,?
Does it mean that visiting a HIV site (MEDHELP) is better than visiting a doctor ?
why they are not reading the new updates , he is Philippine BTW

@ majoridiot  , they all the same man ...

[RainLover71]

A test at 6 Months is not required because it's the old HIV window period used back in 2003.The testing is better now and more sensitive.Your results are final and conclusive,you don't have HIV.

[casper012]

Thank You So Much Rain,
my doctor just told me that i have to come after another month to just confirm it at all , i asked him is it possible i still not in the seroconversion stage, he told me YES.... :(
he told me just come after one month ( so total is 6 months)
i just read here in some replies that ( HIV AG\AB ) is not that good after the 3 months period , i read also that i SHOULD USE ELISA after the first three months, on the other hand (ag\AB) have AB so it suppose to be the same ...?
that's why i got confused , sorry for making long slow story .

[RainLover71]

The doctor should have told you that the result was 100% conclusive at 5 Months.You don't have HIV.The DUO test is fine anytime after 3 Months because the antibody part of the test will detect antibodies.

Dear Teak , i know you might not answer my questions , but i want just to know
last Monday i went to take a DUO test ( ag \ ab ) hiv test , after 5 months of the exposure,
the result come back negative , the doctor told me that i'm a 99% HIV-
but i read that i should take the ELISA test after this amount of months ( 5 Or so ) is this is correct , i don't have here ELISA test , all i have is AG \ AB test , is it not good test , ahll i go to another country to take the test ? is it really that the AG \ AB test is not good after 3 months"on the other hand it have AB also like the ELISA " ?

sorry for this question , but i want to move on

HAVE U BEEN TESTED WITH RAPID INSTI HIV KITS?

[casper012]

do you mean that her test is not enough evidence for making sure that we are OK
Both of us ,

do you think something else could be there after all of that ?

[rnegoro]

Test needs 3 months after  risky encounter.

[nursegirl6572]

You don't find out your status based on other people's test.  YOU need to be tested if you had a risk.

[Teak]

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

[casper012]

no i didn't have any
do u think it is fine now

[jhguy011]

If you haven't had unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse since September (3 mos. back from December test) or shared IV drug needles, yeah, you're good. Time to move on...
