The buffer pot
on 14th June 2019
I have used boisure test in the past but I recently used one and the buffer pot is different - it has silver foil over the top instead off the white foil. Is this just and improved design you have developed? And on the test I only got one line but it is really dark and not perfect straight line

Hi Dave
Thanks for replying. A laboratory test can detect HIV from as little as 4 weeks after infection. I'm surprised that the nurse knew nothing about the BioSURE HIV Self Test, but just goes to show how far we have to go to get the word to everyone. There would be no need to retest after 3 months, your clinic test should be accurate.
I hope that this helps.
Kind regards

hi thanks for your reply gary.i have been to the gum clinic yesterday and the nurse was unfamiliar with the biosure test kit.they took urine and blood samples to test for hiv ,chlamydia and gonorhea.i dont have any symtoms of burning when peeing etc and touchwood nothing else so far other than a migraine today but i suffer with these anyway.she said from what i told her i am low risk,i should have my results in a week and will need to be done again in three weeks as they can get an accurate diagnosis of hiv after a month? is that right or should they also be testing after three months as with biosure? thankyou in advance...dave

Hi Dave
Thanks for getting in touch.
The chances of contracting HIV from protected vaginal sex, as the insertive partner, are virtually zero, even if your partner is HIV positive. Unprotected oral sex carries about a 1 in 4,000 chance.
I hope that this answers your question and helps to put your mind at ease.
