It was most likely a combo test since that is the standard test given in Canada (I live in Canada) All blood tests in Canada are 4th gen and only rapid tests are 3rd gen. I confirmed this with an HIV clinic. Remote areas might not use the 4th gen but in Ontario I would definitely say it was a 4th gen. Your results are conclusive. 12 months is only if you are using antibody only testing. I highly suspect you had a duo/combo test.
still looking for possible IL28B testing and any of the latest in Canada, Has anyone filed in Ontario for transfusion compensat claim, just wondering about questions and procedure of the health long term care Hep C assist program.
If chronic and depending on where you live antiretroviral treatment should be explored. I know in the US, they now advise anyone with HIV to start treatment, regardless of their HIV viral load. The cocktail they give for HIV takes care of keeping the HBV in check. The active drug for HBV is Viread and I think the FDA recently approved the new HIV cocktail with TAF, which is still Viread but a lower dosage that has less toxicity.
Welcome to the discussion group. I see you're in Canada. Do you know the name of the trial you're in and how the 'arms" are broken up. Also, how do you know what arm you're in as they are usually blinded for some time.
However our current license from Health Canada is for only HIV-1 and that is the reason the product inserts you saw at the clinics in Ontario mention only HIV-1. Our application for HIV-2 is pending with Health Canada and we are hopeful that very soon INSTI will be licensed in Canada for HIV-2 also like it is many countries including Europe.
I did a rapid test at 6 weeks and 1 day and tested negative thinking I was tested for both strains. Then I found out Canada is so behind the curve.
I don't think you have any serious worries about HIV. Heterosexually transmitted HIV is much rarer than you think. Assuming your friend comes from a similar background as you do -- i.e., if he isn't an injection drug user or bisexual, hasn't been in prison, and isn't an immigrnat from an country with high rates of HIV -- then it is extremely likely he has HIV. And if he did, probably he would know and certainly would have admitted it. On top of all that, even with typical (i.

I know that the Insti HIV Antibody test is common there in Canada. I'm sure Canada has several different tests like the US.
Now i feel like i am lonely and my eyes did stop picturing my future. I have a girlfriend who lives in Canada and I live in England. It was her who told me to get tested when she comes to see me couple of months ago. I never had any idea about this bloody virus that i have been told i have it in my blood.

Yesterday i went to visit a reflexologist for neurogenic leg pain treatment. He asked for my medical history, then took my weight, height, blood pressure. Finally, he pulled out a long lancet device which looked like a high lighter and said he was going to test my blood sugar. At this i told him i did not want to be poked by a lancet as it felt unsafe. He assured me that a new lancet needle will be used.
However (CATIE, Canadian Aids Treatment Information Exchange) the governing body for HIV research in Canada says a duo test is conclusive at 28 days or anytime after. I personally spoke with the medical director and she stated the window period is 4 weeks for the Duo test. That information is also stated by HIV experts such as Dr. Handsfield and Dr. Hook (World reknowned HIV experts) based on numerous seroconversion panel studies. The 90 day window period refers strictly to Antibody only tests.

We live in New Brunswick and the drug is still under review with our provincial drug plan and it is not an approved treatment on our regular medical insurance at work.
The only option I can think of is assistance through the drug company but I was wondering if any fellow Canucks knew of how long the wait is for a typical review under a provincial health plan? I called our plan here but could not even get a time frame for the process.
Thanks very much!
The DUO test which tests for both the p24 antigen and antibodies to HIV provides definitive information on the presence or absence of HIV infection at 4 weeks following exposure and beyond. Perhaps what the person you spoke if was referring to is the fact that in some persons with HIV the p24 antigen may no longer be detectable after a few weeks if infection.

ve heard about from members in the UK, I wondered if we have members from Canada that could give us insight into how they view thyroid patient treatment from their Nat'l Health Service. What testing is typically done? Is TSH usually the only diagnostic? Is there reluctance to medicate patients beyond just getting their test results somewhere within the range, regardless of symptoms? After all, we may be facing the same situation in the future.
