Can HIV go Undetected even with Testing? Posted: 07-01-06 18:15pm
I had an HIV test done thursday but will
not get my test results till monday.
The reason for this test is because a ex
bf who I have not seen in almost two years
messaged me claiming I gave him HIV but
the thing is I was only with one person
before him and that was my sons dad and I
got tested while pregnant and after having
the baby the only person I slept with was
my ex bf and he joined boot camp a year
later then entered the military and for
both boot camp and military you get a
physical which includes bllod test for all
STD's and no HIV ever showed up and my
sons dad was in the military and I was
never told of him having HIV and I would
of been told if my sons dad had HIV and it
would of show up in my test when
pregnant.
I am just a little worried and shakin up,
my doctor keeps sayign i do nto have it
because thier is no way the military would
of missed it twice.
Am I worrying myself for nothing and
everything will be fine?

The only way to solve the mystery is to
wait until the test results are ready.
If an HIV- test is done within the first
month after infection, there is a
possibility that a person be infected with
HIV and the HIV-test remains negative.
There is a "blind period" when there is
infection but there are no antibodies
created to be detected by the test. It
seems likely that these current test
results will be relevant.
