Can I be sure I dont have HIV after testing negative for three and a half months?
If the corresponding antigen or antibody of HIV testing is negative after three and a half months, it can basically exclude the infection of HIV. HIV is a highly hazardous disease, so people with some high-risk behaviors must pay attention to it, promptly conduct targeted tests to exclude these diseases, especially when there are similar symptoms in the body, they must be checked promptly.
1. Currently, the methods of HIV testing include the combination of HIV antibodies and antigen-antibody tests, but the window periods of these two are not exactly the same. Generally speaking, the window period for the detection of P24 antigen combined with antibodies is shorter,2~6 weeks. If this method is adopted, basically after 6 weeks or after 6 weeks, HIV infection can be excluded.
2. No matter what detection method is chosen, as long as it is negative after three months, the purpose of excluding HIV can be achieved. Therefore, you can rest assured after completing these tests, but you must go to a formal and professional hospital to do these tests to ensure the authority of the results.
3. No matter who you are, you should lead a clean life and avoid promiscuous and unclean sexual behavior in your daily life, because one of the major transmission routes of HIV includes sexual contact. Therefore, in order to protect yourself and others, you must eliminate these high-risk behaviors.
