HIV Prevention and Testing => Do I Have HIV? => Topic started by: kellycloud on December 07, 2006, 11:35:21 am

Hi all,
I have some questions as well as concerns that I hope someone can answer for me. A few months ago I has a brief sexual encounter with a female of unknown HIV status. I decided after 3 months to get a HIV test. I purchased the FDA approved Home Access test and it came back negative. Afterwards I realized that I made a mistake on the date of this sexual encounter. Instead of testing negative 90 days after possible exposure I actually tested negative 88 days after exposure. Is this conclusive? I know some people have said the window is now conclusive at 3 months. My general physician said it 6 months and I have also read 6 months on other websites. So basically my question is, can I definitely say without a doubt that my HIV status is negative after an 88 day negative home access test HIV test? Thanks to whoever takes time to answer.

kellycloud,
Can I ask why you are using different usernames while posting to our forums? Thus far, you have also used darock (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=5886.0)
Please realize that this kind of activity is disrespectful of other forum members, as well as our moderators. People spend a considerable amount of time helping others in these forums. Using multiple accounts is at the very least annoying, if not deceiving and disrespectful of others. It is also against our Terms of Membership (http://forums.poz.com/Terms.htm) which you agreed to when you became a member. This information is also contained within the Welcome Thread (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=220.0), which you should have read by now. So really, you have no excuse.
You must realize that the answers won't change, no matter how many names you post under.
I would appreciate a reply to this message, and I hope you will commit to using just one account - preferably your original one. If not, you will be banned from further access to the forums.
