Is HIV Test Done 16 Weeks Post Exposure Conclusive?

Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
STD's 8 test panel tests for 8 types of common sexually transmitted tests.
These are chlamydia,gonorrhoea,hepatitis B and C,HSV 1 &2,HIV and syphilis.
If these tests are coming normal even after a 4 months of unprotected sexual exposure,it means you are free of them and there is no need for any retesting as well as any mental stress.
Maximum you can get tested for HIV again after a gap of six months to be on complete safe side as in few rare cases HIV can get positive after 6 months.
There is no need for any re test for any other STD because all of them are confirmatory maximum by 6-8 weeks.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me or any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks.


I have already answered this question in my earlier reply.
There is no need for retesting for any other STD except HIV.
At the end of 6 months,only retesting for HIV should be considered.
Thanks
