And might I add the World Health Organization has changed their guidelines from 12 weeks to 6 weeks. And the BASHH guidelines are 4 weeks. The CDC is being overly conservative according to the experts

A negative HIV Duo test is 100 percent conclusive according to Dr. Hook and Dr. Handsfield and many other HIV Experts. They would stake their careers and personal integrity on it. The guidelines are based on antibody only tests which is still outdated because there is solid evidence for 6 to 8 weeks.

What was your exposure? A negative at six weeks is a good indicator of a negative at 3 months
