Thinking next step.
Hello everyone! Happy new year! Last week Monday i test myself with two different type of HIV test kit. 1 is for hiv1/hiv2 ( result is negative) .. and one 5 in 1 includes Hiv1/2 (but show a second very blurry second line) so expect im exposed to it,( this others HCV, TP, HBsAg are all negative) . Today January 8 i test tested again this evening as I checked that the blurry line showed up again after maybe 20 minutes. So does it mean it’s already worse? Tomorrow i will go to the hospital for checked up. My mind is a little anxious but im trying to be strong . Thank you!
, I am glad you reached out and hope we can show our support as you go through the testing process. We are not medical professionals, and also cannot interpret test results online, but can provide you with some information about what types of tests there are (https://h-i-v.net/test-types). One thing you'll see in that article is about window periods, which is how long post- exposure it may take for different types of tests to be viable. Be sure to know the date you think you were exposed when you go to your appointment tomorrow. Here's some more about what to expect: https://h-i-v.net/living/testing-regurlarly . If you'd like, check back in about who things went, we're here to listen and provide as much information as we can! - Liz (Team Member) Hi
. I just want check in and see if you were able to go to the hospital and get a check up and tested? Please feel free, if you like, to update us on how you are doing. Best, Richard (Team Member)
