I got tested for HepB, my test immunity to hep b is <10, is it mean i am immunocompromised and not yet produced antibodies for hiv?
just to clarify, thanks
Hi
I have tested non-reactive for hiv at 84th day after exposure, thanks for your supports, god bless you
ya, I understand, I thank you for your support from beginning
Your negative isn't going to change- if you only knew how much you were overreacting over this. Collect your negative and move on with your life.
I am waiting for test result, what are my chances to stay negative
It's conclusive and it's time for you to move on. This thread has gone far enough.
Hi nursegirl
pls advice, waiting for result with fear
today 84th day after I test for hiv, waiting for my result, what are my chances to stay negative
pls advice
We follow the FDA guidelines which state 3 months and this is off-topic and a thread hijack. Please keep your questions in your own thread.
What's your point? We've said over and over and over that OUR recommendation on THIS forum will be to adhere to the OFFICIAL guidelines, which is still 3 months post exposure. Until those guidelines are changed, our advice will remain the same.
You are free to aceept anyone's advice you choose.

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.
My first advice is to comment on the fact that you had unprotected sex with a partner you don't know well. I hope that won't happen again. Please get into the condom habit! Still, the chances your partner had HIV or that you were infected are very, very low.
I think your doctor doesn't understand HIV testing, especially with p24 antigen, or that you misunderstood something.
The "4th generation" HIV blood test (also called "combo" or "duo" test) checks for both HIV antibody and p24 antigen. With this test, a negative result at 4 weeks or more after the last possible exposure is 100% reliable. Although many agencies continue to recommend that a final antibody-only test be done at 3 months, it really isn't necessary. For more information, see the link below.
Stop the madness. If you want to take the DUO, or that's all you have available to you, then take it...the point was, it's overkill. The duo is optimal for EARLY detection, up to 4 weeks post exposure. So, anything after that point, the duo is not necessary, a regular antibody test would suffice.
That being said, a duo at this point is still going to be accurate.
Sheesh. You need to get some help with your anxiety.
There are no tests marked or sold that will give a conclusive negative test result earleir than 3 month post exposure.
I dont get it
Why experts says duo test is rilable after weeks !!
The DUO is only good from week 1 to week 4
Its same price in uk. Only 10 pound difference if u want privatly
The difference is the price--the antibody test is much cheaper than the DUO.
Whats the different duo test antibidy and single antibody test? They lookin for same antibodys?
Please clear it
ok i test at 84th day, hope it will be negative, thanks
Look,it makes no difference but if you want to save money then just take an antibody test.
good grief...take the duo if that's what you want...it will be "ok"
antibody part in duo and antibody test alone is not same?
efficiency of antibody part in duo is not good?
Yes it will but it's better to just have an antibody test
