i dont think anything the cdc says will make a difference to these ppl.  i mean, take a look around...how many cannot believe their 3 months...and HAVE to test at 6 months...then 9 months.  they are truly sick...and until they get treatment for their OCD...nothing will change.  it's sad though that we are the ones who have to deal with their obsessiveness instead of them seeking treatment from a professsional.

i believe that because as of lately there are people here who just keep searching
and the sad thing is they seem to push themselfs away from friends and family
i can only hope that cdc will oneday push the window period back to 6 weeks because the time frame will take a toll on people and its sad

Shadow, believe it or not. There are some people that think if they have a disease like HIV that they will fit into life somehow and no matter how many negative tests they get they won't believe it. The only thing that prevents them from living out their fantasy is not having the prescription for the medication
