22 week hiv 4th gen negative . 8 hiv 4th gen tests all negatives. my exposures was with a hiv + . been reading that it take up 1 year to show up.true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
8 tests?: Modern HIV tests are highly sensitive. If negative 90 days after exposure, the chance of being truly negative is 99.9%. If this result is obtained 8 times, even more so. Please proceed as a responsible adult who practices safe and responsible sex and who is healthy and negative for HIV...one who shouldn't do more tests. You've done enough! Stay well!
