I got tested at 7 months and it was negative. Do you guys think i should test at 1 year to confirm my status of hiv? This has been making me very anxious... So i hope you guys could give some advice.

Zlyn,

Usually people are asked to test after three months from the point of supposed infection. Then they are asked to test again at the six month mark. You were tested at 7 months which should give a conclusive result.

As long as you have kept away from risky behaviour during this time.

Take care!

Zlyx,

The only cure for this feeling is that you go for as many blood tests as makes you secure.

All the best
