Relating to my other questions on hiv i have a closure finally.?

i went to local sexual health clinic run by a hospital and did the rapid hiv test. they took a finger prick sample of my blood and tested it where you get the results in a hr when testing it they had a control line to show the test has worked and then if no other lines showed that means it was a negative if another line showed it meant it was a positive so they would have to take a sample of my blood and send it to the lab to be retested to make sure. as the health advisor said that the rapid hiv test is so sensitive it can pick up any antibody and think that it may be hiv. so when a positive happens they send to confirm the result. my test came negative she called me in after 30mins of doing the test and still after 40mins the results did not change. so am i definately a negative since the last time i had sex was in jan this year with my bf and if i had b4 him like from 5yrs ago with my ex it wud have shown. taking a finger prick blood sample is it the same as a normal blood sample?

Yes a finger prick is just as reliable as a blood draw. From the time frame you said you are totally safe.

Good Luck!!

yeah, it sounds like if they told you it was negative, you don't have to get that other test, if I read correctly...that's really good news but you should also get tested for hepatitis...Did you know that you can have hepatitis and it not show up in blood test for like 5 years? Crazy huh?

any negative hiv test after 3 moth of expusor is conclusively and diffinatily nigative and any positve test requiers another test to confirm positivity a negative test after 3 moth mark is conclusively negative and you dont have to worry about it
there is something called fales positive which is very comon
