Is 8th week test conclusive?

[guyshelp123]

Dear friend, I took three hiv duo tests separately in week 4, 6 and 8. The report indicated hiv p24 ag and hiv 1, 2 abs negative by CLIA. All three time tests come back negative.

1. May I be confident that I am negative according to the test results?
2. Could you tell me whether CLIA is a assay or a certification? Is it an approved method? What is the different between CLIA and ELISA or ELFA?

I am confused about the method the lab used, is it a concern that I need to be worried?

Your problem is you aren't paying attention. "YOU NEVER HAD AN EXPOSURE."

Dear Teak

Is my understanding correct ?

[guyshelp123]

Thank you nursegirl, I am sorry. May I ask a final question? No test is needed for that and the pod upon my eye is totally no related to hiv. I am thinking too much. Is my correct?

You're imagining things and reading more into our answers than is there.  We all told you factually that you didn't have A RISK.  Not sure how much clearer we could be.

Thank you Teak, but why you guys all did not answer my question directly. I knew it is no exposure for me, however, when I mentioned capillary hemangioma, all of you became a little strange. Could you tell me the truth, is that a dangerous and typical sigh of hiv?

[Teak]

You never had an exposure from oral sex.

Sorry Vance, I asked whether it is hiv related, you answered see a doc, how do I understanding your reply? It is or it is not? My heart is jumping so fast after getting your answer

[guyshelp123]

What is the meaning of see a doctor? I am totally scared by you. Please could you give me suggestion specifically? It is hiv related you think? You can simply say see a doctor, however, after getting your reply, I nearly kill my self

[guyshelp123]

I will see a doctor, but it is not hiv related, right?

[Vance2335]

See a Dr.

Dear nursegirl, I had a small pox upon my eye since I was born, however, it is getting much larger since the sex activity, even bleeding today. It is probably a capillary hemangioma getting serious. Is it probably hiv related? Sorry for my anxiety and sensitivity.

[Vance2335]

Reread what he wrote.

[guyshelp123]

Thank you hangon51, so no test is needed at 12 weeks, right?

[hangon51]

Correct. You never needed a test to begin with.

[guyshelp123]

I was performing oral sex to a gay guy. He did not ejaculated. No anal sex. So no test is needed for me necessarily? Thank you nirsegirl

[guyshelp123]

Friends, could you help

Most doctors will advise that a negative DUO result at 8 weeks is conclusive.  On this forum, we adhere to the official guidelines for testing, which would mean that a conclusive result can be obtained at 3 months post exposure.

The most important question is, what was your risk?  If it wasn't unprotected vaginal or anal sex, or sharing IV drugs/drug works, you never had a risk and didn't need testing to begin with.  If you DID have a risk, with three negative results, it's likely you're not infected.
