A member asked:
If i had 1 hiv test done by pcp & was neg. & id doc wants another test 6months later. can i expect that neg too? only 1 partner. their neg also.

Test at 6 months: Is likely to be negative but you should not miss the next test. You did not say what type of test was done? Was it antibody test or a test for HIV nucleic acid. You may discuss the option of doing HIV nucleic acid test in three months, with your id doc.
