 Hi and thanks for your post. A negative test a three months usually suffices. A test at approximately 6 months (doesn't have to be exactly) will provide extra reassurance. Since the tests measure your immune response to HIV, it's sensitivity is not affected by the HIV status of the contact. Be well, BY | ||||||||
