Which Test to Take at this Point?
Mar 14, 2002

Please answer- I am pregnant and timing is very important. I took a Home Access test at 95 days and 135 days past possible exposure, both negative. Is another test needed and does the pregnancy affect the results or give false negatives?

Response from Mr. Kull

A pregnancy should not produce a false negative result on an HIV antibody test. It is possible that an antibody test during pregnancy could be indeterminate, but that was not the case here. According to your Home Access results at 95 and 135 days, you are HIV negative.

See Pregnant and terrified... for more info.
