Is 8 months past possible exposure conclusive?
This will be a long one…..In February 2014 I had unprotected vaginal sex (I am a male), I was tested for HIV 5.5 months past exposure (July) 7 months past exposure (September) and 8 months past exposure(October) All tests came back negative. They were the antibody tests. Now In july(about two weeks before my first HIV test) I was shocked electrically at work (high volts, low amps) much like a taser or car spark plug. At this point I became ill, fatigue, constipation, loss of appetite and some weight loss (about 5 or so pounds). I found this read: http://www.rife.de/lab-test-results-of-hiv-inactivation-by-electric-current-from-appendix-e.html
which states that "In this report, we present the results of double-blinded studies on the use of direct electric current to alter the infectivity o£ HIV-1 for susceptible cells in vitro. Two lymphoblastoid cell lines (H9 and CEM-SS) were exposed to aliquots of the RT strain of HIV-1 treated with direct current. Results of these studies show that virus treated with currents from 50 to 100 microamperes (ìA) has a significantly reduced infectivity for susceptible cells. " I was wondering if this would have ANY effect on the antibody test. Or could I consider myself conclusive HIV Negative? From the time of my last possible exposure until I was tested was 5.5 months, from the time I was shocked at work until my last test was just shy of 90 days.
Thank You

Sorry, anybody who tests on a 3rd or 4th Gen test post 3 month's and is negative; is 100% negative.
Super question dude. .
No one will have answers for this. .Every one will say 95 percent by 4 weeks, 99 percent by 3 months ..but no one will tell about 100 ...

Don't know why they would say that, but you spoke to someone who is there to read out of a book, not someone with working knowledge.
Ok, and one more thing. I spoke with the CDC, they claim 3 months is 97% and in a very rare situation it takes 6 months. But they would NEVER comment on a conclusive date, why is that?
Of course just my luck too lol. I figured there would be enough antibodies at 5.5 months, or just shy of 90 days after the shock. I also know your body is constantly making anti-bodies. Do those sound like symptoms to you? My doctor said it could be my Anxiety
Well, this is a first.
No, your incident at work will not affect your HIV test. The study is irrelevant to your situation.

I also understand that was done in-vitro and under certain temps and time. But I just wanted to confirm.
