Window periods

Firstly I would like to say what your company is doing for people testing is incredible. I have tested at 84 days using bio-sure and had a negative result I have chrons disease I have read from many sites that having a immunodeficiency disorder can delay serconversion and extend the window period to six months – would I need to retest or not?

Hi Help55, thank you so much for your kind words it always makes us happy knowing that we are helping people. The result you have obtained from the BioSURE HIV self test at 84 days is conclusive and there will be no need to retest. Chrons disease would not affect your test result - there are only really 2 things that could potentially affect your result. The first being on anti-retroviral treatment for HIV and the other would be if you have been vaccinated against HIV. Thank you for choosing BioSure. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd
