Question
Should I re-test?
22 February 2008. Related: All topics, HIV testing.
I had multiple sex partners for the past year, but i always use protection. I recently did an HIV test and it came back non-reactive (negative) but I worry it is not right. Should I double check myself?
Answer
The test was negative so I’m not sure why you want to re-test.
Technically anitbody test recommend a period waiting three months before testing, but most infections would be picked up by two months.
