| *Women health>>>HIV |
After waiting a couple of years , I had a HIV test with my doctor. The results came back NON REACTIVE.? |
The HIV 1/0/2 ABS Index Value test came back with results of NON REACTIVE and the Ref. Range was also NON REACTIVE. The relative range was related to the negative cuttoff @ < 1.00. Does all of this medical jargon mean negative? Besides my wife, it has been quite some time since my last intercourse experience. (2 yrs or more) The nurse called and said I could quit worrying. I just thought I would double check.. yes your test was negative well quit worrying as it is right when tests got done you and your wife enjoy yourselves I got an HIV test done a few years ago and when I got the results back, the doctor said my HIV test was "non reactive"...I was taking a human sexuality class in college at the time and we had discussed HIV testing and we had talked about detectable levels of infection in the blood and how the infection levels can go so low with medication that they can be "non detectable." Anyway, when the doctor said my test was non reactive, I confused it with non detectable and about freaked out...he had to explain to me that "non reactive" meant negative. I had him tell me again,just to be sure. My point with the story is that why can't doctors just use simple terms (like saying the test is negative) when talking about things like that? People are already nervous enough about what the results will be that using medical jargon isn't going to help anything. But to answer your question, yes, nonreactive means negative. |

yes your test was negative... No you can not be infected by spit in a bottle of water the Virus would not live that long 20 minutes is tops on the time the virus live out side a host body hun get informed on how HIV is ... Nothing is 100% foolproof other than abstinence. Condoms are considered to be about 85% effective in prevention of disease I believe.... Use a good supplement program. Studies have shown that even a cheap daily vitamin supplement has slowed the progression of HIV. My logic tells me (and my opinion is) that if you can slow ... I am not sure if this is what you are asking....Do you want to know the average time between contracting (getting) HIV and when you are diagnosed? A person can be infected with HIV and no... Your doctor is the best person to consult on this problem. You probably don't have HIV if you aren't showing any other symptoms, but should probably be retested anyway. The chances... The UK Blood service checks for all major blood-bourne diseases including HIV and West Nile, and would definately inform you if there was a problem.... I know someone that has HIV and has had it for 30 years.....Yes there is reason to live... |
