Question 1

5th gen hiv test negative at 8.7 weeks. why retest at 12 when cdc considers 4th ge tests conclusive after 43 days?

Accepted Answer

If positive: It may be conclusive if positive. Negative does not rule out. Do check at 12 weeks and to be sure get a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 months after exposure.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

is it likely for someone who isn't on medication to test negative for hiv at 7 weeks and positive at 12?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A person may not make antibodies to HIV, despite being infected for a few weeks to months, so called window period and later have a positive test when the person makes antibodies.

Question 3

how reliable is a negative hiv duo test at 7 weeks after pep?

Accepted Answer

: If  7 weeks is from completion of PEP, it's probably conclusive, but some experts recommend a final test 3 months after the last dose of PEP.

Question 4

my girlfriend hasn't had a partner in seven years gave me a blowjob two days after got hiv test it was neg i got one after her only a hj b4 her i ok?

Accepted Answer

Okay: Both of you are HIV negative, that is good. Stay in a monogamous relationship. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

can my positive hepatitis a diagnosis affect my hiv results or delay seroconversion this making the window period longer for me. my last hiv test was april 10, 2021 and my exposure was september 12, 2020 seven months ago. last is neg 4 gen hiv test?

Accepted Answer

: Asking the same question multiple times will not change the answer. Get a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 and 12 months after exposure.

Question 6

i was diagnosed w hsv2 a few yrs ago. took an at home hiv test seven mos after possible exposure and it was negative. my l ear has been blocked for almost 2 mos and for some reason i cant shake the idea of hiv. am i just being paranoid?

Accepted Answer

Not HIV, no worries: You really needn't worry about HIV. HIV would not cause blocked ear as the main symptom (get checked for ear wax build up). The home HIV test is very reliable any time 3+ months after the last possible exposure, but you could have a lab-based test for even further reassurance. Almost certainly you do not have HIV. The vast majority of people with HSV2 never get HIV.

Question 7

i had unprotected anal sex (without ejaculating) with a man who insisted he was hiv negative and on the medication truvada. i was the dominant partner (top). that was exactly seven days ago today. yesterday and today i have felt sore muscles (though that

Accepted Answer

Virtually zero risk: Probably your partner is taking Truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir) as pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV (PrEP),  so he is unlikely to have HIV. Or maybe he is HIV infected but &quot;negative&quot; meant undetectable viral load. Either way, your HIV risk from this single exposure is extremely low, zero for practical purposes. Your symptoms aren&#x27;t from new HIV: 7 days is too soon, and sore muscles alone is unlikely due to HIV.

Question 8

how reliable is a negative hiv vidas  duo ultra test after 7 weeks of exposure ?

Accepted Answer

Very reliable.: It's recommended to repeat HIV test on the 12th week or 3 month window to account for a delay in the production of antibodies.If there is a higher risk of getting hiv, it's recommended to repeat the test after 6 months.Take care! http://i-base.info/guides/testing/test-accuracy-results-and-further-testing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15967238/  http://hivtest.Cdc.Gov/faq.Aspx#exposure.

Question 9

how conclusive is a negative 4th gen hiv duo test at 7 weeks for all practical purposes?

Accepted Answer

100%: Totally reliable any time 4 weeks or more after the last possible exposure.

Question 10

can i trust my hiv negative after 10 month of exposure i got 7 time hiv negative during these 10 month ?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: 7 negative tests mean negative.  It would be unlikely that you have HIV that has not shown up after this time.  However, to be 100% sure a final test at 12 months is usually done.
