Whats the advise from this forum?

Thanks!
Hiya and thank you for the update. They are incorrcect, only a 3 month test is conclusive after PEP, although this test is certainly very good news and now its quiet unlikley that you do have HIV.

Dear friends, I have just had yet another test which is 87 days post PEP and 117 post exposure to HIV. The result was again negative. Can I take this as conclusive or I still have to continue testing? I have suffered enough mental torture! Please advise. Some one told me I could have the virus hiding in my body despite testing negative for the forth time in a roll since completing PEP 3 months ago

What you were told is incorrect. Hiv cannot hiv from any tests.

so the good news, you dont have hiv anc you do not need to test again.

Best of luck.

Re: Worried after 9 months exposure to HIV+ girlfriend

Thanks friends for all the encouragement over the past few months that I have undergoing HIV tests. I have learnt my lessons. Special thanks to Apollo123 for consistently been there to advice. I want to convince myself that I have no HIV following consistent negative tests with the latest 16 weeks post exposure. I want to lead a normal life once again. Stay well friends. I will do a final conclusive test more for routine purposes on 9th June 2013.
