A member asked:
I tested for hiv antibody 3rd generation at 110,120,140 day from my last exposure and all these test came back negative.some doctors even here keep telling that the final test should be taken after 6 months.is that true or my results are final?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The 3rd generation HIV antibody tests are conclusive at 8 weeks, no need to test any later than that. All these results are 100% conclusive. The internet is not your friend: anxious persons are drawn to information that inflames their fears, often missing the reassuring parts. Limit online medical research to professionally moderated sites and especially ignore those with that problem.
