VIRAL LOAD TESTS VS ELISA
      #172895 - 02/02/06 03:42 AM

"The test can be used for diagnosis, because it can detect a viral load a few days after HIV infection. This is better than the standard HIV (antibody) test, which can be "negative" for 2 to 6 months after HIV infection." If the antibody test can be negative for 2 to 6 months, then how did the 13 weeks conclusive test came about? Sigh.....i have never read the materials in the body.com except the forum and ask the experts until today.I shouldn't have read it today.It really is worrying me.

Tests have changed and are more sensitive now. Six weeks for most people & thirteen weeks to be conclusive. Very few doctors will tell you that they had a patient negative at 6 weeks and then positive at three months. Or negative at three months & then positive at 6 months.

In any case, it doesn't matter because you have tested NEGATIVE at the 6 month mark (or close enough to it). TRUST YOUR TESTS AND STOP RESEARCING THE INTERNET INTERNET, AS IT IS DOING NOTHING FOR YOU.

And have you sought help yet?

You do not need any more tests. You need someone to talk to about your OCD. My advice is for you not to delay, because next week it will be something else you ae obsessing about.

viral load test can not and should not be used for diagnosing hiv infection, some people will get false positives. you dont need anymore testing, the black stuff in your blood may be something the healer can do something about but its not hiv. people love to pray on scared individuals.love and peace
