I went to the doc today for a follow up to ensure o was rid of chlamydia....last time I saw her she told me to keep testing for HIV for a year......I got advice from others on here...eased my mind..well today she made me paranoid all over again despite my neg six wk and six month. Home access test....why do they do. This? Would it be a waste to test again?

Thanks for your answers..i appreciate it! Its just so unnerving that not everyone is checking up on the standards and instilling fear in people..

Hi MK716,

You tested negative at 6 months with a reliable test, beyond the standard 3 months window period.

Your negative test was done at a time even the rare people would have tested positive if they were truly infected.

You don't have hiv!

Take care.


May God bless

"why do they do. This?" How could we possiblily know why your Dr would advise this? Next time make take her some proof that 3 months is the conclusive window period.

"Would it be a waste to test again?" I think you know this answer.
