Hi, i am 25 years female. Recently my boy friend doubt me as a HIV infected person. He getting like mad. I tested HIV last year 23/08/2013. That was negative. The exposure with my boy friend time was 15 dec2013. I took a test infront of my boyfriend. it is a high profile lab in my country.  tested 09/01/2014. Testing in ICT mathod.

My boyfriend still ask me many things. I want to know from you

1. MY test is conclusive?

2. ICT test give correct result after in 4 weeks?

You cannot rely on anybody else's test but your own.

You have to test 12 weeks post last possible exposure to be absolutely sure.
Your negative test at 4 weeks is encouraging but unfortunately not conclusive.

As a female, I just really worried. Please give me an ans?

There is usual 4-6 weeks result can change in 12weeks? If he told true that his last test was 5 months ago and this time  he tested immunocronomatography ict test can be falls negetive?

  In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

If he is infected, it should be previously, test can deceted 5-6 weeks time infection. What is your idea?

[sharmin76]

After4 weeks, symptom can come?

[sharmin76]

If he has, why not come in test? After from the exposure, can come sumptoms?

Most people that get infected were told by their partner that they don't have anything. You can't go by someone else's word.

If you had unprotected penetrative sex with him then no your test is not conclusive. 3 month post exposure is conclusive.
