Home / Answered Questions / Hello, My test result came back Negative both at 10 weeks and 20 weeks mark after a possible exposure for HIV at the youth clinic and LifeLab in British Columbia. Is my test result conclusive (100% like the Window Period checker shows) and is there a need for going back for another testing? Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

You are definitely HIV negative.

The window period for HIV is up to 90 days (or 12 weeks). We can say your result from 20 weeks is definitely conclusive, and we would not recommend any further testing based on that exposure.

Please let us know if you need any additional information.
