omejeb: It depends on the type of test you're gonna get. Ordinarily, it's anything between 15 - 90 days, to start with. For the popular 4th generation HIV rapid test (blood from vein), it's around 30 - 90 days (to be on the safe side). Please kindly do some personal research. P. S. You may need a confirmatory test after 3 - 6 months, as advised by your healthcare provider. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

I have done about two tests within the window periods..the first was 3weeks after exposure then the other one I did was 10weeks after the exposure but all came out negative..but the lab scientist told me I have to come back for a confirmatory test in three months time and that should be next month...i don't know the chances of it still going to show negative...fear wants to kill me here πͺπͺπͺπͺ 1 Like 1 Share |

omejeb: The window period for most HIV antibody tests is 3months (12weeks) after exposure. I don't know which test assay is popular in Nigeria, but in Cameroon the test kit DETERMINE is a first line cos of it's high sensitivity. That means it will for the most part pick up antibodies. Oral Quick is used for confirmation cos of it's high specificity. This means sometimes cos of DETERMINE's high sensitivity it could show a false positive that needs to be confirmed with a high specificity kit like Oral Quick that's good at detecting antibodies specific to HIV.. If you tested negative at the ten week mark it's very very likely you would be negative at the 12weeks mark. Most rapid tests in use in 2023 can accurately pick antibodies at the 6weeks mark. However in line with regulation do test again at the 12 weeks mark post exposure to have a confirmatory result Dr Ayukebot O Rowland Pharmacognosist Flavell MEDICINA 95 Likes 9 Shares |

omejeb: I suppose your fear stems from having unprotected sex with someone whose HIV status you can't ascertain. Since you guys are still in communication you can ask her to run an HIV test too. I'm certain you are negative based on your 10week results but it's safe to have a confirmatory at 12 weeks per regulatory. I suppose you learned your lesson this time and would be more careful next time..All the best Dr Ayukebot O Rowland Pharmacognosist Flavell MEDICINA 49 Likes |

omejeb: You don't know her, yet you dived in head first without a rubber...! Many of you young people don dey get mind these days... It's like we are back in the pre-Eighties before HIV/AIDS became a thing. Even then, people were still not this reckless. I think the HIV awareness organizations and CDC have not been doing their jobs... The latter went moribund after COVID-19 lies dried up. If they really do fact check on HIV/AIDS prevalence, the results will make many of you shocked to your bones. 8 Likes |

It takes at least six months which is approximately 25 weeks and nothing less. See the requirements you need to apply for your UK student visa here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8eIPCfi0ZA |
