4 tests
I had a high risk exposure, I did a 4th generation test at 35 days and I’ve also done 4 biosure tests at 87, 92,96 and 101 days would you say that’s a conclusive hiv status?
I did a 4th gen test at 5 weeks
on 13th May 2020
I have done a 4th gen test at 5 weeks, and 4 biosure tests 84 up to 91 days, then another 4th gen test at 14 weeks and finally a bio sure test at 19 weeks. My question is can I trust my biosure results as they are a second gen test and I've read there can be a 6 month window period with that test, I know you say 84 days but there is so much difference in opinion on the internet?

If you did 4 tests at 99% accurate, the chance that they are ALL wrong is 99x99x99x99. It ends up as a more than 96 million to 1 chance. Unless you got HIV after you done those tests you are Negative for sure.

Hi Worried 2020,
The BioSure HIV self-test has a clinical sensitivity of 99.7% (which basically describes how reliable the test is at giving a positive result for those who have HIV). This means that on average 997 in every 1000 positive cases will be detected correctly. In addition to this, it has a clinical sensitivity of 99.9% (which describes how reliable the test is at giving a negative result for those who do not have HIV). 999 in every 1000 negative cases will be detected correctly.
The BioSure test is essentially 99.7% accurate at detecting infection 12 weeks post exposure.
I hope this information helps, if you have any other questions please feel free to leave them in the thread below.
Kindest regards,

Hi Worried 2020,
The BioSure self-tests are second generation and therefore have a 12 week window period (84 days). All 4 BioSure tests that you have performed after 84 days are conclusive and as all 4 tests were negative then you can be extremely confident in your negative HIV status.
