Yes only if you could have been exposed to the virus anytime within those 7.5 months. But if you had unprotected sex or used IV drugs 7.5 months ago and havent done any activities since then that would have exposed you, then you should be fine. The Virus typically takes 3 Months to be detected in tests. But you should constult the Doctor Who adminstered the test. Hope this helps
If you tested negative at 6 months after suspected exposure, it isn't likely you will test positive in the future unless you have been re-exposed.
An HTP should still be positive at 3 months
The "window period" for most HIV tests is considered to be three months. Most people test positive within two months. If you have a new risk within the months just before testing, you should repeat the test at the end of the window period.
No. Parole violations for testing positive for drugs or alcohol are very common. If they automatically go back to prison for testing positive most parolees would be returned to prison within 6 months of their release.
It is possible. HIV testing is a delicate process because a person may be infected with the virus but not test positive until several months after infection. Example: A person is exposed to HIV and waits two months, then gets a routine HIV test. Because the individual is in their "window period" (the amount of time it takes for someone to develop enough HIV antibodies to test positive) they may have a negative test result despite having been infected. HIV test sensitivity varies. When getting tested for HIV, it is important to know the sensitivity of the test being used because follow-up testing may be required to provide a conclusive result.
My positive line on my test was very faint.....my daughter is now 15 months old!!!!!!!!!!
Tests used to take 6 months for the buildups of antibodies in your blood to be noticable enough to trigger a positive result. Now, that time has been cut in half- so if you wanted you can get tested every 3 months. If you are worried about it then go get tested. Actually, the time to seroconversion (when the test will detect HIV in your blood) is down to around 3 weeks. Testing schedules should be based on your sexual history. If you have more than one partner but have no other risk factors then every six months to a year is a good general rule. If you are high risk (anal intercourse, injectable drug use, highly promiscuous or have a partner who is HIV positive, among others) then your doctor may advise a much more frequent testing schedule. The answer to your specific question is that if you were negative eleven months ago, have had no other partners since that time and your partner was also negative and has had no other partners then re-testing is not necessary. If you or your partner has had sex with anyone else since your last negative test or if you aren't sure about your partner's HIV status then retesting would be advisable. If either you or your partner participate in any high risk activities or are high risk for any reason then you need to be retested.
i smoked a couple of bongs of kronic most days, after working a 12 hour day, for aprox 8 months. i was randomed tested and tested positive.I retested myself 4 times in 10 weeks. i kept testing positive. I had to quit my job. The testing is a gastromety test so you only need a tiny amount to test positive. it is not tested at a cut of level like THC. you are either positive or negative. they do not give you any levels. i havent smoked it for over 4 months and i still test positive. so to answer your question. a very long time..the testing is just another knee jerk reaction as it doesnt prove impairment. it only proves that you have smoked it some months ago, and anyone that has smoked kronic would know that the affect wears off after a couple of hours. so thanks to all the dick heads that made such a fuss of this and have cost many people their jobs.
I'd suspect that she's actually pregnate and tat the negative readings were false.
None, they should stay positive till a few weeks or months after you deliver.
HPTs will definitely pick up a pregnancy that late! Usually they will start testing positive 2-3 weeks after conception. I have heard that some women have extremely low HCGs and therefore it is 6 weeks before they show positive. If you are still showing negative, then pregnancy is not the answer - see a doctor! Please!
Fairly accurate. The window period for HIV is rather long, up to six months. This means that the person can be infected for six months without developing enough antibodies for a standard HIV test to detect. However, that is more the exception than the rule. To be more certain, a person may want to test again at the 6 month period.
yes there is a false positive! I have two kids and about 2 months ago I though I was pregnant again. I took the ept and it was positive, then I took another one the following morning and it was negative so I made a doctors appointment and I was not pregnant!
