A member asked:
I was tested at 6, 12, 17 and 22 weeks with an hiv antibody test do i still need to retest, should i be concerned?

Risky behavior: If the test is positive then you are really, really really positive. If it is negative, as long as you continue participating in risky behavior (unprotected sex, sharing needles, multiple sex partners, selling oneself for drugs, illicit drug use....) then you should continue routinely being tested for hiv.
