1.) I know the window period of 3 months, pero gaano na po ba ka accurate ung test na un? Other website says that it can only take 4 to weeks to show antibodies when tested.
Hi Reeyan.
Thank you for your email. Thank you for sharing your concerns to us.
Let me answer your questions in the order that you asked them.
1. All the HIV doctors here in the country would ask you to have 3 and 6 months post exposure test for HIV to be sure of your status. Each individual has a different rate of producing the HIv antibody which is the thing that is being detected by the HIV test so it is best to get the test during those two periods.
2. Unprotected oral sex is not high risk for HIV transmission, however it is still a risk, and it becomes higher when the receiver has mouth sores, oral wounds (may be caused by oral orthotic devices such as braces or dentures).
3. Rapid test is not affected by having a cough or cold.
4. Nowadays, the testing facilities use the 4th generation HIV test.
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions or please do call our Hotline Numbers below to talk to our counselors.
