A member asked:
I'm worried because my bf cheated. i tested at 22 weeks(5.5 months) for an hiv antibody test, do i need to retest, what do you suggest?

Nucleic acid test: You could repeat the antibody test, but a negative result will not rule out an infection. A better test would for HIV nucleic acid. If that is negative at 22 weeks after the potential exposure, it would rule out HIV infection.
