7. ayda dönen test
Arkadaşlar gerçekten çok yoruldum artık. uzun süredir bu siteyi takip ediyorum. Psikolojim iyice bozuldu. En son 6. ayda negatifim var. Bu mesajı yazmamın sebebi benim kendi testimin dönmesi değil. Askexpertsnow.com'da Prof. Hansfield'e yazmış birisi. Adamın daha önceki testleri dördüncü nesil, en son 138'de yaptırmış. Ama 7 ayda pozitife döndü diyor. Hansfield normalde çok katı, kesin dönmez diyen birisi. Ama burada yalancı pozitif olabilir fakat dönmüş de olabilir diyor. Aklım çıktı korkudan. Artık intiharı düşünmeye başladım. Ne bok yiyeceğimi şaşırdım. Kendimden nefret ediyorum. Siz ne düşünüyorsunuz bu konuda. Siteye girdiğinizde 7 months başlıklı soruya tıklarsanız görebilirsiniz. Alta konuşmaları da ekleyeyim, ingilizcesi olmayan translate kullanır. SORU: Hi again unfortunately I had to come back, even though I tested negative at 138 days today at 7 months I tested positive from a self sample finger prick test that is sent to a lab (4th gen). I also tested negative on an at home bio sure test on the same day (antibody only) I was non reactive on p24 but reactive on hiv 1 antibodies. There was no other exposure than that of the 26th May, I did have symptoms but tested negative 10 times after 3 months and today I tested positive, could I be the first person that has turned positive after 4 weeks? In a bit of a state! Questions would be 1) chance of a false positive for a test like this 2) chances of lots of false negatives using blood from a vein and finger prick tests well outside 12 weeks 3) do you stand by the negative results that I had previously, I genuinely have had no further incidents, tried to move on but kept getting symptoms, now I have this positive test! Any comments hugely appreciated but now I feel this is it and the test has finally changed CEVAP: Welcome back to the forum. I'll be taking your question this time, but I reviewed your discussion with Dr. Hook. I understand entirely why you are "in a bit of a state"! Your previous test resutls were conclusive. But now that you've gone beyond that, you're having to deal with some apparent positive test results. If I correctly understand, these results are entirely with home self testing? Or was a laboratory involved? Taking into account the essentailly zero risk of the exposure you descrbed in your previous thread, the results probably are false. And it is exceedingly unlikely that you truly have seroconverted this long after exposure; you indeed would be the first such person, to my knowledge. But based only on the test results themselves, it seems possible you have HIV. If you do, it would be necessary to look into other potential exposures that somehow you did not recognize at the time. This also would be the very first case on this and our previous forum, after 14 years and thousands of questions, in which a forum user actually acquired HIV. I have to doubt that has happened, but we have to consider the possibility. Your specific questions: 1) the rapid tests have more frequent false positive results than lab-based tests, but you'll need to clarify exactly what tests have been done that appeared to be positive. 2) Venous blood vs fingerstick makes no known dfference in test performance, except for the slightly higher risk of false positive rapid tests. 3) I stand by the opinions and advice you received from Dr. Hook, and he would do so as well. What you don't mention is whether or not you are in medical care, or if you have been doing these tests on your own, perhaps through an online HIV/STD test broker. This situation calls for expert care: you should see a physician experienced in HIV diagnosis and care, such as an infectious diseases specialist, or perhaps a public health clinic in your area. You need an expert physical examination, HIV RNA testing, and perhaps other tests to sort things. All things considered, I have to believe your positive result(s) is/are false, but I'll be very interested to hear more detail about your test results. But especially interested to hear the outcome after you have seen an expert physician and have additional lab-based test results to report. In the meantime, I hope these comments are helpful.
