Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by thorpido(m): 9:35pm On Oct 30, 2015 |
mamboroo:Yes.You can actually have the test done in 4-8weeks after exposure with some test kits but you will have to do a re-test after 3months to be certified negative or not. |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by stoneaustin(m): 9:49pm On Oct 30, 2015 |
21 days is good cos 95% of individuals will show detectable antibodies to HIV by 4 to 6 weeks, with greater than 99% having sero-converted by 3 months. there are test that are conclusive at 7 days mark but its not available in Nigeria at the moment. please I beg of you, don't go surfing the net trying to get answers cos it might cause unnecessary anxiety as most information online are not from professionals. Visit any health care center close or far from you! Condom is cheap, disease is expensive! 1 Like |

mamboroo: Yes, you can. Even after 14 days, one can test positive. It's because it's not everyone that is positive that will actually test positive at this time that 3 months is recommended. Book an appointment with your doctor and discuss it with him. |

stoneaustin:I went for check up the results shows that am negative the test used was that kit that looks like the one they use to test pregnancy So is it accurate |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by Nobody: 8:02am On Oct 31, 2015 |
DrAdonis:the results shows that am negative so can I be positive after time? |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by DrAdonis: 8:31am On Oct 31, 2015 |
mamboroo: Yes. So you need to go for another test after 3 months. |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by Nobody: 8:35am On Oct 31, 2015 |
DrAdonis:whaat ??why |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by stoneaustin(m): 8:48am On Oct 31, 2015 |
mamboroo: that's great news! its very accurate though not conclusive but is very unlikely to change even at the 3 month mark. just relax ur nerves for the now and go the test again at 8 weeks. |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by Nobody: 8:52am On Oct 31, 2015 |
stoneaustin:ooh thanks God But I don't understand here everyone is talking different thing why? |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by stoneaustin(m): 9:05am On Oct 31, 2015 |
mamboroo: stop surfing the net! i know its a little difficult for you now but it would help a big deal. opinions differ cos they are not professionals. please get in touch with a health practitioner. whats your risk level (high or low) and do you have any symptoms? |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by Nobody: 9:11am On Oct 31, 2015 |
stoneaustin:what are the symptoms friend? |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by stoneaustin(m): 9:28am On Oct 31, 2015 |
mamboroo: Some people recently infected with HIV will experience some symptoms like, Fever Severe Fatigue A non-itchy rash Swollen glands/lymph nodes Muscle aches Sore throat Night sweats Sores or ulcers in your mouth. if truly infected you should experience any or all of those symptoms I listed above within 5-14 days after the virus enters the body but some people would not experience any symptoms at all. please note that other STDs also have same symptoms and anxiety can create them in your head and make you feel you have them! lolzz! Please Mamboroo see a doctor. |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by Nobody: 9:51am On Oct 31, 2015 |
stoneaustin:I don't have any friend and I have already seen a doctor but they say it should be 3 month time |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by DrAdonis: 9:56am On Oct 31, 2015 |
mamboroo: Because the antibodies might not be detectable until after 3 months. If the antibodies are not detectable, the test will read negative. If you test negative then, then you are confirmed negative and you will need to be courteous and use condoms if you don't wanna abstain. |
Re: Hiv Test 21 Days After Sex by stoneaustin(m): 10:06am On Oct 31, 2015 |
mamboroo: OK, just be good OK. |

stoneaustin:Hope you are good sir? I also hope you are still active on nairaland. You seem knowledgeable about this so i thought of asking this question... two exposures from the same partner. one was 10 weeks before the test and the second was 5 weeks, 5days before the test (same person or same exposure) Test shows negative. I think it is the strip thing... what is the probability of staying negative? Status of the other person is unknown. |
