More to my question on my HIV test?


He was tested in November, and is also negative. I was negative in October, and had multiple parteners up until July the 8th, but still have the same one. My question is am I still negative if I was tested in October, and he was negative in November?

Your best bet is to go in and get tested and get out of doubt- honestly there is a 1-3 month window period when you are first exposed to the virus - this is because that is the amount of time it takes the virus to grow and be picked up by a test.

When a person comes in gets tested in this time period but fears they have been exposed they are asked to return in 6 months for a follow up test.

Besides as I mentioned before it is best practice to speak to a counselor individually so that they can ask you specific questions about your behavior and guide you as best as possible.

It is great that your partner know their status

Email me :o)

Most likely, but if it's gonna bother you should go into a walk-in clinic.
I did it in January and it really gave me one less thing to worry about.

If you are having safe sex then you should be fine.
