Thank you for the replies. The spot in question is gone. I guess stress for nothing. What I don't understand is why when I called the hotline the operator told me that I would need to test again in about a month to be sure that I was HIV free. Why did she say that? Do you think that they know that I am HIV positive and just want me to go back and test again? I know this sounds stupid that is how my mind is working now. Do they tell everyone else that 3 months is ok?

If your testing negative after 90 days, it is highly unlikely that you have HIV. All of the data that I've seen says that antibodies normaly start appearing between 30-60 days but I understand what you are going through. When it comes to testing, do whatever you need to do to put your mind at ease. I tested "indeterminant", which meant that they didn't know whether I was HIV +/- and went on to test negative 3 times still inside of 90 days. I still have 2 weeks before 90 days but am relieved somewhat in the last 3 tests. Hang in there.

I know what you mean, but what worries me that on their website they say 3 months, but when I called the operator said go and test at 6 months. Why did they say this? Do they have some way of knowing that I am infected? I mean I tested at almost 150 days after my exposure. Please help

Stop worrying. 120 days is plenty accurate. stop the nonstop research it just makes thiings worse. You will run across things that totally contradict each other. Take my word-you are fine at 4 months testing.
