See what it has to say on page 2 regarding the window period.
"It can take up to 6 weeks for your body to produce enough antibodies to be detected by the test"
By the way, the first page shows how this is sponsored and supported by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health HIV/AIDS Bureau - June 2003.
BASHH/EAGA statement on HIV window period
November 2014
HIV testing using the latest (fourth generation) tests is recommended in the BHIVA / BASHH / BIS UK guidelines for HIV testing (2008). These assays test for HIV antibodies and p24 antigen simultaneously. A fourth generation HIV test on a venous blood sample performed in a laboratory will detect the great majority of individuals who have been infected with HIV at 4 weeks after specific exposure.
We can't help what France does, the guidelines is 3 months post exposure.
It has been scientifically proven Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is, by far, the most deadly sexually transmitted disease, and considerably more scientific evidence exists regarding condom effectiveness for prevention of HIV infection than for other STDs.
You don't contact AIDS... AIDS is a progression of HIV. Did he loose it on withdraw or during sex?
You all strictly follow the testing at 3 months only conclusive for unprotected sex as per CDC guidelines. But you wont accept as CDC says "Unprotected oral sex can also be a risk for HIV transmission, but it is a much lower risk than anal or vaginal sex." Even though low risk, testing is essential or not?
As of November 2009, 23,731 HIV/AIDS cases have been reported in the country (National HIV/AIDS Program of the Ministry of Health). The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that in 2007, 35,000 Salvadorans were living with HIV (UNAIDS 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic). Incidence appears to have declined since 2004, but there is a fear that HIV/AIDS cases are underreported due to lack of an effective monitoring system.
This is a member to member forum with very knowledable people giving answers. Information is based on current HIV guidelines. Oral is not considered a risk by exerts in HIV. That's the bottom line and the stance the forum supports. If you feel otherwise, please test. But there is nothing more we can offer you here.
The guidelines we go by at MedHelp are the recommendations of some of the worlds most well known and respected HIV/AIDS experts. We recommend the 4th generation DUO test 28 days post exposure and a confirmatory test at 12 weeks for a 100% conclusive result.
Your doctor goes by different guidelines. Perhaps you should ask him why he thinks so many experts are wrong.
I follow the manufactures and the FDA guidelines. You don't have HIV and no it doesn't happen after that length of time unless you had another exposure.
So based on the info you read in her obit, that she requested donations to be made to a hospice and AIDS project, you have concluded that she was indeed HIV+ and died of AIDS? Wow, thats sum conclusion. More likely however, is that in the intervening years she either became involved, as a volunteer or knew someone who had passed away to an AIDS related illness and decided that instead of flowers she would want people to make a donation to said hospice\AIDS project.
I found lots of sites pointing different guidelines for possible hcv hiv coinfection. http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/Hepatitis/Current/Q191498.html
Dr. Mcgovern of the body says there are different guidelines for possible coinfection according to cdc. Why is hcv different then any other virus? I don't mean to be annoying I'm just a bit nervous and I keep coming back to this logic if one virus can cause delayed seroconversion why not another?
Those doctors are not up to date on the testing guidelines. Matter of fact they are 5 years behind on the guidelines.
two of them i did not use condom and one i did.. after which i watched documentaries about hiv/aids and i was afraid.. i asked the three of them and they told me they are 200% sure safe because they do have annual check-up.. i want to have myself checked to be sure but all of the write-ups im reading about hiv/aids said that it should be 3 months after the last contact.. im afraid because im have colds now and i felt like i have fever but when i checked it with a thermometer its normal..
I had an exposure to hiv a while ago, almost two years. I followed the testing guidelines and tested negative three months after the exposure. I moved on from this even thought I have not been feeling unwell ever since, I figured residual anxiety, depression, ect. My problems are the following symptoms:
-purple blotches in the form of a lesion formed on my forehead, separate ones, one of them very large and spanning from almost the whole left side of my temple.
What the hell. I know that. And I am positive.
