HIV testing

[mchharris]

After a possible exposure I was tested for HIV multiple times. I wasn’t given PEP because I missed the deadline. The source from the exposure tested negative. I was tested in the following intervals

1 month(4weeks)- 4th generation test (negative)

2 months(8weeks)- 4th generation test (negative)

3 months(12 weeks)- 3rd generation test (negative)

4 months(16 weeks)- 4th generation test (negative)

5 months(20 weeks)- 3rd generation test (negative)

They told me that the given date of 20 week mark is conclusive. But I still feel unsure. Will my result change from 20 weeks to 24 weeks(6 months). I also asked if 24 weeks was the same as 6 months and they said yes.

No. You are negative. a three month or later 4th generation test is conclusive.

Yeah your negative I wouldn't worry usually within six months you know after testing

Received my 23 week test negative with INSTI rapid test.
