Hello, I donated blood exactly 35 days after my last possible exposure. I informed the red cross and they said it was a low risk exposure and it was OK to donate. Anyway, I called them back to confirm and the NAT, P24 Antigen and the standard antibody tests were all negative. They said that I was fine because the NAT test has reduced the HIV window period to approximately 2 weeks after a possible exposure.
I guess I just want some reassurance that the NAT test at 35 days could be considered conclusive just like the standard antibody test is after 90 days per the CDC. I thank you in advance for your assistance.
