Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi, Your HIV test is negative. HIV is not your problem. No way. No how. The disclaimer under "Interpretation #2" stating that "a negative test result does not exclude infection with HIV (1/O/2)" is there because the lab that performed your test can't control for confounding variables that might affect test results.For instance the lab has no way of knowing if your are currently on immunosuppressive drugs or when your last HIV exposure took place. If you were still within your "window period," for example, you could test "negative," but still be HIV infected. So the disclaimer is a CYA ("cover your ass") statement so that the lab can't be accused of giving a false or misleading result. Since your potential exposure was three months ago, this disclaimer would not apply to you. So all you have to do now is WOO-HOO! Congrats! Dr. Bob | ||||||||||
