HIV screen in 12 days?

[Worried877]

Hi .. I came across this clinic which can show auccurate results with no window period waiting as the clinic says it runs the blood test in a hospital and checks dna as well for 600 bucks. This is the website http://www.hiv.sg/hiv/anxious.htm .   How true is this? please help

3 months is when one can obtain a conclusive negative test result. PERIOD. PCR-DNA tests are NOT approved diagnostic tests.

They are doing DNA test, they say they will send the blood sample to SGH for testing.
DSC counsellor says they are playing on people's fear...
He say 12weeks is too early...

AFA counsellors said, just go there and prepare to lost some money. That's from AFA counsellor in smboy forum.
That's interesting that the website is from private clinic in balestier, are they using RNA or DNA test? since the price is not the same.

I came across this site too... its a private clinic at balestier.
DSC provide PCR test as well, cheaper by half the amount but the doctors there also
wont encourage taking the PCR test as it will sometimes give false result and need to back up by the standard anti-body test as well.

It is a scam site. I don't know why Singapore authority still didn't take any action.

It's not an approved test.

I've searched it and came up with this. http://www.hiv.va.gov/vahiv?page=ptfaq-2007-10-04   It says it is accurate as its not looking for antibodies but the virus itself... what are your thoughts on this?

It's not. There are no approved HIV tests that will give you a conclusive result that early.
