Bro I mean the vagina fluid was my palm when I was removing the CD but I didn't wash the fluid off first but just rub it on my dick with water. But why am I having the nodes in my pubic area and those red spots on tongue including other obvious symptoms. Thanks for your reply I appreciate

Ok...since you have nodes, it means something like a virus has triggered your immune system. In order to be sure, have you done a HIV test yet? How long had this been?

Most importantly, have you read about colloidal silver? It is the most potent antiseptic (antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal) agent ever known to man. With colloidal silver, some nigella sativa and probably vitamin D if you are truly infected can reverse the infection within weeks.

You can google about "Colloidal Silver HIV Cure" and see testimonies.

Check my profile if you need colloidal silver

Sometimes I worried less bro. But considering my symptoms and the swollen node at my groin and red spots on my tongue gives me sleepless night I swear and people saying 8 weeks is not conclusive
8weeks is indeed not conclusive. Its usually 3months. But the chances of your result changing from negative to positive after having tested at week8 is quite slim.

The only criteria that could cause such change is if you are on a medication for some terminal illness like Cancer, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease and some very serious illness like that. If you're currently undergoing treatment for such illnesses and you go for an HIV test, your result will probably be altered due to the drugs and medications in your system. Hence you'll be advised to get tested 6months after you have completed the medications for any of those illness.

But if not, 8weeks is quite enough time to produce a quite correct HIV status.

the normal finger prick own will detect it if the virus is has multiplied enough in your blood before the antibodies can react with the antigen on the strip, but this method can detect it as early as 48 hours after exposure hence reducing the risk of having it for long before detecting.
thanks for educating me. so you just went there and they decided to use this on you instead of the normal anti body test and how long did it take before you got the results

I keep on telling people leave that 8weeks crap. to completely rule it out test as 6months. I still don't know why CDC still keeps it at 3months. with so many people testing positive beyond it
Worldwide, the window period for an HIV test to be ruled out as conclusive is still 3months.

Those having a changed result after 3months would probably have been battling some other terminal illness which is said to alter HIV results if they tested at that time.

Only symptoms can delay for that long, even years. Some people don't even develop symptoms till after 2years and above. That's why CDC adviced people get tested every 3months and not wait to see symptoms cos most times, symptoms delay for a very long while due to some factors.

But for a test result, after been tested negative within the normal 3months to change to positive after 6months, something must definitely have been seriously wrong with that person before hand.

HIV doesn't stay hidden in the body like that. Its a very difficult disease to catch and quite quick to diagnose.

I disagree slightly cos what i heard is once someone is infected the test will detect either on drug or not. Thanks for the insight tho. Much appreciation

Oga there are a lot of exceptions. take what that guy told you. he's right . Those with poor immune, used pep(hope you know what this is)on cancer therapy or IVR drug users are advised to check after 6months
Re: My HIV Positive Journey. by Anthonyant447: 5:11pm On Oct 05, 2019
What I will do now is wait for 3 weeks and few days to be approximately 3 months and get tested again. After then mo japa

Then why do people have changed result after 3months and 6months?

Quote me anywhere, if a Cancer patient has HIV and he or she get tested while still undergoing chemotherapy, such individual will test negative.

Ask a doctor Sir...

see leave all this CDC thing. visit some sites and HIV people telling their stories. Some turn positive way after 3months. with no proper explanation. not some a lot of them. well even general hospitals and labs here will always tell you to check after 6months if they think you had a risk. you seem to have researched a lot. I like it

I knew about the test in school, I did a course on it. I asked the hospital (National Hospital Abuja) if they run the test they said yes its free. I got the result after 3 days. This is the final confirmatory test for HIV.

well this is my first time hearing serology. does it check for anti body. and why did they use it on you. most general normally uses the normal finger prick own

If people have changed results way after 3months or even 6months with no proper explanation, they definitely had another exposure that caused the change. They won't include that in their stories though.

I know what I'm saying Sir. A changed result after 3months is relatively rare.

so a whole lot of them who had sero conversion illness and tested at three months mark yet negative, and then turned positive are ignorant abi. you say its rare that means it happens. my issue is the doctors always make it look likee it never happens or its 1 in 100 but thats not the case.

I never said it doesn't happen. I only gave instances where it could.

And YES! People are very ignorant.

You mentioned "Sero- conversion". Please research well on that terminology and get back to this thread. You'll understand me better then.

It already is. But only for people with exceptional cases.

Well, it is well. I just pray non of us gets down with any of these life threatening illness. But we should also help ourselves by sticking with protection always.

I don't even wish my deepest enemy any of these blood borne diseases.

Its nice having a knowledgeable debate with you Sir. Lol

God bless!

HIV serologyusually refers to the diagnostic identification of antibodies in the serum.if u conduct ur HIV test in UCH Ibadan u are going to see HIV serology at the head of the result and it usually takes 3 working days for the result to be ready
serology means checking for antibodies in the blood which means HIV serology means checking for HIV antibodies in the blood and they make use of elisa

the standard antibody test is Elisa test which check for your antibody and it requires 3 days for the result to be ready
the one you receive that day immediately is rapid test
the one that checks for both the antigen and antibody is the use of PCR DNA and the antigen only appears like 2 weeks after HIV enters the body by 8 weeks the antigen would have disappeared in which antibody will appear then

seems the Elisa test is rare. I recall I couldn't get a place to do it then.
