Common Questions and Answers about Hiv test window
hiv
Viral Load tests are not an approved test for early detection of HIV. One can be infected with HIV and not have a detectable viral load. It's a total waste of money. If one has had an exposure, the best one can do is use condoms for vaginal or anal sex until they have received their conclusive negative result and are in a monogamist relationship. It's that simple.

At the 4 week mark the woman who performed oral sex on me and I both tested negative for HIV via and antibody test. Please understand that I have had extreme anxiety over this situation and every little symptom I am having I contribute to HIV when I should probably be chalking them up to stress, anxiety, allergies, and a cold. I have been told that receiving oral sex is not a risk for HIV, I guess I need to hear it one more time. Do you agree with Teak that I do not have and HIV concern?
Your test is final and conclusive.
Dear doctor, after ready views and concern about people i decided to take hiv/aids elissa test today morning which came negative,should i consider this test to be 100 percent accurate, the nurse said something about window period antigens are ok and they didn't find any hiv, so if a person has slept with somebody who has aids can the test still detect the aids virus after 2 or 3 years even when a person is close enough to die with aids do they still produce antibodies?
Any test you take at any time will be conclusive, and negative, since you were never at risk for HIV.
My "encounters" I know would be classed as zero risk activities on this and other respected forums, but anxiety leads me to probably having to test for peace of mind.

Hi,
I have been reading this (and other) forums and I could not figure out one issue. I'd like to be tested for HIV, but I am waiting the window period. Most experts say that modern HIV tests are much more sensitive than the previous ones, that is why the window period would be shorter nowadays. However, oraquick (only as a example) is perhaps one the most common test in US (free cost - I don't have health insurance). But as far as I know it is only 2nd generation.
The DUO test is an HIV test that looks for antibodies for HIV-1 and HIV-2 and also looks for evidence of the p24 protein which is on the surface of the HIV particle.The advantage of testing for p24 is that this indicator of HIV infection can be detected earlier than with tests that only looked for HIV antibodies.

Hello,
I’m from Turkey and 22 years old. My English is not good enough sorry for about that. 27 May, I gave a man blowjob (I don’t know he is HIV+\-). And he ejaculated in my mouth and I swallowed his semen. But unfortunately my mouth health is not good enough. I have tooth problems. 4-5 tooth decay, bleeding gum.
21th day I tested HIV ab/ag and I was negative. But I don’t know anything about window period. How accurate is the test being at 21th?
kissing someone on a pimple...ALTHOUGH GROSS...is not a risk for contracting hiv.
he had oral sex, so not really test nedeed, the PCR DNA HIV test does have a shorter window period of 15 days, but this test also have a false positive rate of 2-8% so its really high, just imaging how worried or desperate you will be if you had a false positive, a test at 6 weeks is 95% accurate, and at 3 months conclusive
