| Re: Need advice about testing window
Hi,
Buddy you seem to be getting quite a bit of wrong information here and I am guessing this is adding to your concern. First and quite importantly you were nowhere near a risk of an HIV infection and did not even need to test for HIV over this incident. HIV is an extremely fragile virus and requires a precise environment and conditions for it to pose the slightest risk of infection. This environment and the conditions required only exist within the confines of the human body, which is the only place HIV remains infectious. Once exposed to air the outer shell of this virus is instantly damaged and it is rendered non-viable (non-infectious), so any bodily fluids outside of the human body will pose absolute zero risk of an infection. You were absolutely not at risk of HIV infection ever if the woman had HIV, which in itself is extremely unlikely.
You do not need to test out to 6 months (you did not even need to test at all), all HIV tests, regardless of generation at conclusive at 12 weeks. Buddy the only thing you are in danger of here by over testing like you are doing is getting a false positive result (this is when test returns a positive result even though the person as not got HIV). It happens, for your own sake don’t let it happen to you and stop needlessly testing, you have not got HIV. I say this out of concern for you but you are grossly over reacting and grossly over testing.
You really don’t have a HIV concern here and to be honest you really should do yourself a massive favour and put this to bed and move on with your life.
Kevin.
