Is a negative HIV test result definitive if its taken over 6 months after possible? |
exposure, as long as no risky behavior (such as sharing needles, having unprotected sex) happened within that 6 months? meaning if you do other things such as eat fast food..smoke a little weed..take medication for allergies or depression ect. has no impact. thank you Well, no test is really definitive, especially with HIV, but after 6 months it's fairly probably that you've HIV-negative Yes it takes three months for Hiv to show up in blood tests. Or so I have read. You are probably ok. Take a test after one year just to be very sure. 6 months is pretty definitve though. most likely yes that is enough time i work in an HIV correctional unit and that is a good time frame to be positive, some people say that it can lie dormant for years but what that usually means is before you start to see symptoms of the infection I have been told that it may not show up for 10 yrs. I am still sweating 3 yrs! no it is not HIV can take years to show up but, 2 negative tests taken 6 months apart is generally a sign that you were lucky and dodged a death sentence. Depending on the test, there may be a .1% chance of error in the test. But 6 months is more than enough time for the virus to present itself... Congrats, you're negative. No test of this nature is ever 100% certain. |
