the window period

Sep 28, 2005

i know of someone who suspected he had hiv and he went for the tests two months after the day he had sex.he tested negative.is there any need to go for a second tests or the result is acurate since it was over six weeks after contact

Response from Dr. Frascino

Hello,

HIV-antibody tests taken prior to the three-month mark are not considered definitive or conclusive. I'd suggest your "someone" retest at three months.

Good luck.

Dr. Bob
