1. what can cause the delay hiv detection?
2. what is autoimmune diseases... will this really delay the detection of hiv antibodies

you have a CONCLUSIVE test result that PROVES that you dont have hiv.
kindly move along...you do NOT have a hiv concern.

are all hiv 1/2 Rapid test @ clinic/laboratory a TEST KIT or a kind of equipment... ? just curious....
1.Thats correct 2.They can and yes those category of people you just mentioned are considered to be immunocompromised.If you don,t fit into those catergories then you don,t have to worry about delayed seroconversion.
correct me if i am wrong....
1. autoimmune diseases will not delay the detection of antibodies....
2. immunosuppressive drugs taken by immunocompromised person cause the delay of antibodies to be detected.... @ 3 months.... and persons on chemo, people with advanced, terminal cancers, people taking anti-rejection meds after an organ transplant, heavy IV drug users... are considered immunocompromised person....???????

autoimunne disorder can delay upto 6 months but autoimune disorder is usually detected early in age and in this type of autoimune disorder antibodies are produced slowly.
OP..you are confusing autoimmune diseases and immunosuppression (being immunocompromised). The latter is where there is a theoretical possibility of delayed seroconversion. That would include people on chemo, people with advanced, terminal cancers, people taking anti-rejection meds after an organ transplant, heavy IV drug users.
It's where a person's immune system is actually compromised, and not working properly.
Incidentally, the idea that even these conditions cause a delay in production of antibodies is highly debated. Even people with immunosuppression still test POS within the 3 month window period most times.

You would know if you had conditions, do not stress or question your negative result, trust your result...you don't have HIV
this autoimmmune disease delay the detection of antibodies @ 3 months... thanks for your reply...
You have already received the answer to your first question on a previous post.Autoimmune disease is a condition when the immune system mistakenly attacks their own body tissues,some examples of autoimmmune disease are diabetes type 1,Lupus,MS and Psoriasis,just to name a few.There are more than 80 different conditions related to autoimmune disease.
