HIV tseting question

[nicksmith1989]

I had a hiv risk back at the end of last year. I was tested at 10 weeks which came back reactive, hiv1 was negative, and the doctor thought the chance of hiv2 was so remote that it would be better to redo the antibody test. so at 11 weeks they did and it came back negative. I am still a little freaked out by the positive so I did some oraquick tests, once at 12 weeks and another at 16 weeks, both these came back negative. I am still just a little scared because the oraqick says it might take as long as 6 months for me to produce the antibodies to detect, even though most people are detected at 3 months. Am I just freaked out over nothing and that was a false positive?

It seems you are at 17 wks post possible exposure? From my experience recently most clinics offer a 3rd generation rapid test. ( finger prick) Slowly they are converting to 4th gen testing. Even if its a 3rd gen test at this time its results will be conclusive for HIV 1 & 2 provided its a clearview product. I believe unigold is only HIV 1. Don't waste your money on oralQuick. Test now and get a conclusive result. Why suffer with your anxiety till 6 months? Also, should you go to a clinic ask for the docs that come with the test. Clearview 3rd gen states 3 months is conclusive.

I had a WB for HIV1 but I am concerned about HIV2, I found a testing website that says after a positive antibody test to have HIV1&2 WB tests done. I am concerned about HIV2.

False positive, after that positive test should have had a WB done.
