HIV Test 82 Days
« on: April 22, 2018, 12:05:52 pm »
I would like to know the accuracy of HIV duo test at 82 days do i need further testing as i am having symptoms.. Today is 85 days is 86 days conclusive or do i need to wait 90 days for conclusive test.

By the way in one of the site who tested negative at 7th month suffering from oral trush is advised to test till one year .. i am really scared because i am suffering from dry mouth and oral trush for the last 30 days.

Also one more question will psoriaris affect hiv test as i heard it is linked with immune system.

Sorry for my english as it is not my mother language and thanks for your help

Why are you testing? What was your exposure?

Anyhow most people will test positive before 6 weeks and 3 months is conclusive and no amount of dry mouth or thrush will change that. Stop reading stories, its nonsense. Thrush is common and not caused by hiv, also it does not change the immune system response to hiv.stay away from paranoid nonsense its unhealthy for you mentally and emotionally

If you test again in a few days from now its up to you but I would not expect the results to change and my advice is instead to move on with your life

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, every time, no exceptions.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices which may be described as ‘safe’ in terms of HIV transmission might still pose a risk for transmission of other STI's, so please do get fully tested regularly and at least yearly for all STI's including but not limited to HIV and test more frequently if unprotected intercourse occurs

Also note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms and the only way of knowing is by testing.

More information on HIV Basics, PEP, TaSP and Transmission can be found through the links in my signature to our POZ pages, this includes information on HIV Testing

Kind regards

Jim

Well in that case I would definitely be moving on with your life at this stage.

Just remember to use condoms and test as normal routine at least yearly for STIs and hiv.
