Andy64:
Ok guys, here's the deal. I had a brief unprotected, insertive, anal encounter with another guy exactly 11 weeks and 4 days ago. I tested negative at 10 weeks but I'm unclear on what is a conclusive test, is it 12 or 13 weeks? Everyone seems to be saying something different. Thanks

Andy Velez:
That's a happy result of course. To remove any doubts we recommend getting tested at 3 months. The strong likelihood is that you will continue to test negative since the average time to seroconversion is 22 days. All but the very few will continue to test negative after 6 weeks.

You can avoid this kind of risk in the future by always without exceptions making sure the insertive partner is wearing a condom. They really do the job and provide very effective protection.

Good luck with your test result which I expect will be a happy one.

Andy64:
So is 12 weeks good enough?

Andy64:
I just want to feel better about this and get past it. And go this Wednesday if I can. Ann what's your opinion?

Ann:
Andy,

Twelve weeks is conclusive.
