Stop testing!: In people with HIV, the duo test always becomes positive by 4 weeks. All tests after that time were superfluous, a waste of money and emotional energy. There is no such thing as "my body not creating antibodies"; that never happens. And anyway, the duo test also looks for p24 antigen, i.e. the virus itself. If you didn't make antibody, the test would still be positive. Stop worrying about HIV.
