Test at 6 weeks is conclusive?
Hi, I got HIV test at 6 weeks and the result is negative. But the nurse told me to come back in 3 months. She also told me it's 3 generation and half test. I don't understand. I think there's no such a thing called 3.5 generation HIV test. My question is do I need to get tested again after 3 months? Please help!
I had sex with a guy unknown status. We used a condom but his penis was kinda limp during the sex so I was afraid the sperm might've leak from the base of the condom and got into my vagina even if it didn't break. Can anybody tell me do I need to go back to get tested again?
She said it tests for some antigens too but she insisted it's not 4 generation test. I got tested at Erie county department of health in buffalo. Anybody knows what kind of test they provide? Do I need to get tested again?
Testing at 3 months is just to comply with federal guidelines. A 6 week negative test very rarely changes at 3 months,
There is no such thing as a 3.5 Generation test, I honestly could not tell you where the nurse got information like that.
