every 6 months you should get tested if you had a positive response to an antibody test. If you have antibodies resent it means ypu have been exposed to the virus. Its a tricky lil virus man that can hide in your white cells by confusing them for up to 10 years b4 detection occurs. This isnot a virus you wanna **** with. Take proper precausions, use a condom with everyone until your family Dr. gives you the clear. No matter what they say, they home kits are not all that reliable, so dont sweat too much just take regular tests at your family Dr. and keep it covered uo for a while.
Oh and just to let you know....at least here in Canada, if you suspect ( atleast 1 positive test) and you sleep with someone else without informing them, and they end up with HIV stage 1 (which is what you call just HIV) you can be prosicuted for volentary manslaughter.

it many times takes 3-6 months for anti-bodies of hiv an infection to progression up despite the indisputable fact that it takes many years or better for indications of hiv an infection to ensue so its very very annoying to no longer recognize your hiv prestige reason many human beings dont have hiv indications and some do. the similar old indications for hiv an infection might want to be continously throwing up, continously having diarrhea, fatigue,fever, Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin,subject matters,muscle aches and joint pains,epidermis rashs that are puzzling to describe,sore throat, and weightloss an definatley lost of urge for foodstuff. a lot of theses indications are confuse with different illiness that ensue to human beings so its puzzling to inform and not using a hiv try to be for particular that you dont have hiv an infection!. If her very last come upon change into 6 weeks in the past then i might want to assert she might want to have anti-bodies of the virus because from time to time hiv an infection shows up as a large effect if the guy is contaminated after 6-9 weeks after accessible explosure yet because she use secure vaginal sex she might want to be probability-free yet from time to time a condom cant truly look after you from stds or hiv .

Maybe you should. To get a 3rd opinion. 2 out of three should tell you but it is wise to strap up when you're doing your thing.
