Hello,Health Nurse!
just curious on the statistics on the accuracy of getting tested for HIV from
4 wks to 12 wks.
i know that by 12 wks 97% of the results should be accurate. however, how are the results for most people at say 4-5 wks, 6-7 wks and etc?
is the statistics kind of like a bell curve where 80% results are accurate within certain amount of weeks and only the last 20% are spread out over the last 4 weeks of the 12 wks? the last 3 % spread out over another 12 wks?
i have seen 4 SP for full intercourse over last 16 months - all protected with no breakage or slip offs. however, the last SP i saw seem a bit flaky and i am thinking getting tested just to have a peace of mind.This was 30 days ago.
btw, all my services have been protected, no BB for anything.
please provide some advise and statistic.
thanks!
