POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there.

Thank you for your email. Thank you for reading the blog.

I glad that you took the HIV test.Since you are still on the window period, just come back as advised by the counselor or the nurse. For now, there is nothing to do but wait and continue your treatment for your UTI. If you are still bothered by your other symptoms, you might as well see an infectious disease doctor to calm down your nerves.

For the rest of the readers, usually 3 months post exposure is enough for HIV antibodies to be detected, however, to be very sure, most HIV doctors still ask clients to come back 3 months after or 6 months post exposure for accuracy of the result. By then if it turns out negative or positive, the result is final.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Stay healthy,

Pozziepinoy
