Generation test

[hayop]

I tested Negative for HIV 1 and 2 antibody..Now my question is it's generation. What if its the
first generation would it's still conclusive at 84 days? ( 12 weeks )..

So your only explaination for those late converters is that they all have cancer???

"Having hepatitis (or any other infection) does not alter the results of HIV tests.  Your 83 day HIV test was completely reliable; you don't have HIV."
DR HANDSFIELD

"The information you have received about delay in the time to developing a positive test after being simultaneously infected to both HIV and hepatitis C is incorrect. There is no reason to think that being exposed to both viruses would delay development of positive antibodies to either virus."
DR HOOK

" In any case, almost no medical condition alters the window period for the HIV test, and HCV certainly doesn't do so; even if you acquired HCV simultaneously with HIV"
DR HANDSFIELD

"You heard wrong.  Except maybe for advanced cancer, no medical condition, including HCV infection, changes the timing or reliability of HIV test results."
DR HANDSFIELD

NOW MOVE ALONG ! ! !

Yes, it was a third generation test. Still one of the best tests on the market. It can distingish between HIV1 and HIV2 which the DUO cannot.

So my test for hiv 1 and 2 antibody is a third generation test?
