Shannon, what you do here is wonderful. However, it seems no matter what question is asked you "copy and paste" the same response. "Test at 3 weeks and again at 3 months, if these are both negative so are you." However, every once in a while you come out with the "97% of people will show positive by 3 months, so retest at 6". It seems as though you don't even really read the questions that are being asked. It always one of those 2 answers. So which do you believe, 3 months or 6 months? I tested negative at 13 weeks, do you suggest another at 6 months or am I conclusive?

Hi Not trying to confuse! I want to be consistent with my answer and that's why I use the same answer regarding testing. Over the years the testing has become more sensitive and this answer: The guidelines for HIV testing are to be initially tested at 3 weeks then again at 3 months, if both of these tests are negative then so are you, as long as there were no other types of exposure during that 3 month period, if so then the timing starts over again. Is the most recent and most reliable.

I hope this helps clarify.

Be well and stay safe, Shannon
