A member asked:
Possibility of false negative after 6mth period hiv test? gave oral to partner in question now i have lesions on the tounge maybe ohl, could be hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What type of test was done? A test for HIV nucleic acids, if negative at 6 months after potential exposure, would rule out HIV infection. If it was antibody test, it is good but it would be prudent to repeat at one year after exposure. See the following for safe sex guidelines. http://www.aids.org/topics/aids-factsheets/aids-background-information/what-is-aids/safer-sex-guidelines/
