Negative HIV test at 8 Weeks

[Bradley2400]

I had unprotected sex about 8 weeks ago and since then I have been administered HIV tests at clinics at weeks 3, 7 and 8.

The HIV test at week 3 and 7 were rapid Oraquick tests and both results were negative. The HIV test at week 8 was a finger pricking test that was also negative.

Should I still be worried that I might have HIV? I talked to the consulting doctor and she said that she has seen cases where patients have come in for a test 8 weeks past exposure and have tested negative, then taken the test at 12 weeks and tested positive.

I am also worried because as I was leaving the clinic I thought that the door handle had blood on it as I turned it. If the blood has come into contact with my bandage which covers the pricked hole, would there be a high chance that i could get infected. I don't know how long the last patient used the door handle but I would presume about 1-3 minutes.

  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

Whatever test you had are not considered very accurate and as teak says with these test 12 week or 3 months is conclusive.
And now on consulting doctor she wont lie but here docs says by 8 week virtually everyone will develop antibodies and virtually word is ambiguous but they are very experienced and they have handled much more cases so since you has spend so much time please wait for some more time.

You can obtain your conclusive negative test result 3 months post exposure.
