You can obtain your conclusive negative test 3 months post exposure.
You can take an hiv duo test 4 weeks after your last exposure and confirm the result if negative 3 months after this exposure or you can take a simple hiv test 3 months after your last exposure. Try to keep calm in the mean time
Duo at 4 weeks,antibody test at 3 months--all the best.
I'm such a paranoid person. I'm so scared. I haven't felt anything out of the ordinary. But still I feel so out of place and keep looking at my vagina then thinking what if I contracted hiv or something.
Can I test now or is it too soon? My ex and I have previously been together months ago but because my current bf and I were using condoms at the time I didn't think anything of it until now.
It would be a waste of time and money to test now.
Take an HIV DUO test at 4 weeks post--exposure,it's 99% for the detection of HIV1 then at 3 months take an antibody test.
Would it be conclusive in 4 weeks more than it is in 3or 6 months?
If 99% accuracy is not good enough for you after 4 weeks then you are not being patient enough.A negative result then will take your fears away.
I have never seen a negative DUO then become positive at 3 months but that's just me,i can't speak for other answerers on here.
3 months and only 3 months is when you can obtain a conclusive negative and Yes I have seen people test positive at 8 weeks.
If both my ex bf and currrnt bf have previously tested negative for everything then what are my odds? My bf was tested before us having sex and my ex bf obviously when we were together. We've been broken up for about 2 years and recently linked up.
Also, is there any symptoms with this. My left arm has been bothering me, feels very tingly and numb like its been asleep all day.
Also, if there was no ejaculation inside but outside on my stomach what are the risks.
Sorry for asking so many questions I am thinking too much and reading through the posts.
Symptoms or lack of will not tell you anything about your status the only way to know your status is by testing.
The best way to approach this is to be sure that you use protection with your BF until you can obtain conclusive results. You will never be able to assess your HIV status by symptoms or by looking at your vagina.
Unless your ex-BF has sex with other men, or is an IV drug abuser, it's highly unlikely he is infected anyway.
No he is 100% straight and neither of them use. I just need to calm down its just so difficult. I'm usually very careful and all for protection as I am not on birth control.
Also, I am scheduled to have bloodwork done today will those results apply to my current bf being that I've been unprotected with him since november last year. I've only had intercourse with my ex towards the end of september.
I went to my scheduled appointment and my doctor drew blood for testing. She said she wouldn't test for herpes as its so common. I'm confused at that I thought it was included in all testing.
Secondly, she said I had what appeared to be bacterial vaginosis. She said its not an std but how did I get it when I always keep my genital area clean. I don douche. Could it be because I was unprotected with my bf and ex. I'm so confused.
Could it have been bacteria through oral sex?
This forum is HIV specific.
Chances he has hiv 1/10,000
Chance of you getting it IF he's positive 1/1000 per exposure
Do the math on that and relax. Most hiv experts say a 4th generation antibody test at 6 weeks is 99.89% accurate.
My advive, get a duo test at 4 weeks and forget it.
