HIV Window period.....Please!!!!!?

I will never do this again so please no lectures....

Three months after I had sex with this guy I got tested (NEG)... I waited again just around six months give or take and again tested (NEG)...How likely am I negative..

More than 99% chance you're negative. It's very rare for someone to test positive after two tests and six months.

There are two kinds of tests. One tests for antibodies and one tests directly for HIV. If you got the antibody test, it's 99%. However, if you got the test that looks for HIV directly, I would imagine it's 100%. Ask the place where you were tested to be sure.

I've always been taught that HIV can take up to 6 months to turn positive because of the typical test used to screen for HIV. This test produces false negatives as well, so I would recommend getting testing at least one more time in a month or two.

You could also ask your doctor about getting an HIV RNA test (uses a technique called PCR to detect pieces of the HIV virus), which should be positive earlier than the standard screening test. It may cost $100-$200 out of pocket, but it could also give you some peace of mind.

Was there a reason you're concerned you have HIV? Did the guy in question develop/have HIV? Did you use any form of contraception?

How many times are you gonna ask this, "David"s sounding as paranoid as you, you guys should date. YOUR NEGATIVE!

youre negative if it said it twice
but its good to check continuously

like u should like go get backk tested maybe in like 3 months just to be sure
