Testing?

How accurate is an HIV test at 3 months? Because I've heard cases of people testing negative at 3 months, and positive at 4 months...

A three (3) month test will not change and suppressed immune system will not alter the test results at all.  If you test at 3 months you do not need further testing

You DO NOT have HIV

Hope this helps

You didn't answer my question, sorry. If I test negative at 3 months do I need further testing? And is there anything known to alter a test result? Such as a sipressed immune system from other illnesses or anything like hat??
