Accepted Answer

HIV test: Yes conclusive, no further testing needed.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

: Typical testing regimen is at 1 month (more than 28 days) and 6 months. If either is positive, you will be offered medications that reduce the viral load in your bloodstream. You should talk to your Dr about using PrEP while you are waiting for results, and even if they come back negative. These prophylactic meds can prevent HIV infection during high risk encounters.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

:  These results are conclusive. The AgAb tests are conclusive any time 6 weeks or more after exposure; and HIV RNA also is conclusive 4 weeks. You have been over tested and do not have HIV. No more tests, please.

Question 5

is testing for hiv at 3months 
100% conclusive ? exposure was receiving oral (blackout while drunk)

Accepted Answer

Yes: The new fourth-generation tests, done on blood, are conclusive. I hope, Mark, that you'll feel safe, and that you'll be able to laugh off what happened to you rather than consider yourself permanently injured. Everybody who experiments with alcohol has some tragicomic experiences. I hope that an older, wiser you finds real love and can smile about things that happened growing up. Cheers.

You're good, Sam: The new tests are altogether trustworthy a month after the last risky event. Be thankful for good health, love wisely and well from now on, and treasure the memories of having shared love even it was not perfect. Best wishes.

: Almost conclusive. To be absolutely sure repeat at 3 months

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: There is no rigorous research on this, but most experts agree an antigen-antibody (AgAb) test (i.e. "4th generation") is conclusive 6 weeks after the last dose of drug. However, some experts advise 3 months. An often forgotten downside of PEP is that it prolongs anxiety after a high risk sexual exposure. Therefore, PEP should only be done following truly risky exposures.

: Negative testing at six months is conclusive. Your symptoms are not related to HIV. Have your PCP examine you for other possible testing.
