Can I post pictures of my results

Keep in mind you only have 3 free post . What was your risk for HIV, please be specific . 

You can call the company that made your test and they can assist you if you are having trouble with the results . You may can also go test at a facility that is qualified to asses your risk and give accurate results .

Unprotected sex with a male. The results read as follows : HIV 1/o/2  ABS-index value            Results <1.00 flags n

Index value specimen relativity relative to the negative cut off.

His results were:,HIV 1/o/2.  <1.00  flags n ref interval <1.00

Index value specimen relactivity relative to the negative cut off

These are word per word from the testing site. Results were done at five weeks percentage accuracy?

The average time to seroconversion is 22 days. Most who are infected will test positive by 6 weeks. For various reasons a small number will take longer and that is why we follow the CDC recommendation to test at 3 months for a conclusive negative result.

The earliest you should test is 6 weeks for an accurate result so I recommended testing again at the appropriate time at a testing center that can interpret the results for you .

I asked you to be specific about what your risk was because many people think they had a risk when they did not . If you engaged in unprotected vaginal or anal sex you must test 6 weeks past any possible exposure and again at 3 months to confirm the results .

G,

That's a negative result, but it is not a conclusive negative result. You must test again at three months to confirm that you are indeed hiv negative.

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

Anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

I believe I was specific in saying unprotected sex with a male. I have read on here highly unlikely to change change after four weeks and they are 90 percent accurate

Nope, you've read here (from those of us who answer questions, not those who ask) that a SIX week negative is highly unlikely to change. And we don't give out percentages like that either.

Bottom line -  you need to test again at three months. AND you need to stop having unprotected intercourse outside the context of a mutually monogamous relationship where you've tested hiv negative together.

Good luck with your testing.
