Biosure 11 weeks

I took a biosure hiv test at 11 weeks with negative result, how accurate is the test at 11 weeks? Do I need to test again in one week? Regards

Hi Ozyyy, Any result 12 weeks post exposure is conclusive. Your negative result at around 13 weeks is wholly reliable and you do not need to retest. Kindest regards, Becky

Hi AC76, A negative result at 81 days is a very good indication of a negative status however I would always recommend to retest again in a couple of days (after 12 weeks since your possible exposure) just to be certain. As the BioSure test is only conclusive after this 12 week window period. I hope this information helps. Kindest regards, Becky

Thanks Becky, in order to get a conclusive results I’ve bought 2 more kits, the one at 81 days is negative I think I can be confident I’m negative

Hi AC76, The accuracy of the BioSure test does not change. A negative result at 11 weeks is a very good indication of a negative HIV status. However, since the test looks for antibodies only, you would always need to retest 12 weeks post exposure for a conclusive result. I hope this information helps.
