CAN IT SPREAD?
      #170201 - 01/18/06 05:00 AM

If someone who is tested non-reactive using the elisa method for already 5 months after the exposure....can it spread to another if had unprotected sex after 2 months of exposure?can it be that the person who is tested after 5 months did not get it but the other person is infected?

I am a bit confused by your question but I will answer what I think you are asking.

If someone tests negative five months after a potential exposure, then they cannot possibily have infected anyone they had sex with after that exposure as a result of that exposure. If you are not infected, you cannot infect someone else.

OK?

Oh Bloody Hell!

That is like saying "if he/she was a martian, there is a possibility that he/she might suck your brains out with a straw!".

We can all make "if, then" statements, but the real issue is how likely is the "if".

A test after 3 months is considered conclusively negative....and this guy has a 5 month negative test. That is the end of this discussion as far as I am concerned.
