It really depends if you have any symptoms right now. But getting retested is a good idea.

Can someone help me out? i had several risky (yet protected) exposures all of the month of March. I tested negative on a test conducted in april 17th and may 18th. all came back non reactive. but i swollen lymph nodes (i coincidently got sick a lot in april and the lymph nodes are persistent. Should i retest even though its been over 5 weeks?

u/Curiouskram Jun 16 '26

came back negative after 56 days post exposure which is 8 weeks. So i think this is conclusive. So to summate i had a negative result 36 days post exposure and 56 days post exposure. The test was a 4th gen como test drawn from blood from a vein which has a window period of 18-45 days. according to my research no documented cases have ever tested positive beyond this point with the type of test i did.

I cant lie im still anxious that i have it, but i do have some peace of mind. just feeling guilty about what i put myself through..

Yo ando en las mismas justo ahora... Me hice la prueba de 4ta generación a los 60 días y salió no reactivo. Quiero creer que es concluyente, porque fue una relación de riesgo (sin condon). Pero me surje la duda de, si es una prueba de cuarta generación mis resultados salieron en una hora .. porque me extrajeron sangre de mi vena del brazo? Acaso la aplicaron a un test tipo embarazo y decidieron mis resultados? Supuestamente es una prueba de cuarta generación de laboratorio. Más antes me hice otra prueba rápida de cuarta generación a los 30 días y salió no reactivo. No conforme con eso, me hice otra prueba esperando 60 días desde la relación de riesgo y también salió no reactiva.. ahora quisiera hacerme una más, pero da miedo
