Accuracy difference from testing at 3 months vs 4 months

[Star13]

Hi Terri,

I started a different thread since it seemed hard for everyone to keep track with my questions.

I took a blood test today and should get my results by tomorrow.

I’m really nervous and I wanted to know realistically what is the testing difference between testing a 12 weeks vs 16 weeks? I know you said around 90% by 12 weeks.

Are there many people that do not seroconvert by three months and then do at 4 months?

Thanks.

I only see a few people seroconvert between 12 and 16 weeks and some of them have taken longer courses of antiviral therapy. but it does happen, I won’t pretend that it doesn’t, Star. Let me know when you get your results.

Ok I will. Can you give me a number of people that seroconvert later vs the number you treated throughout your career please?

Sorry I just want to get a better idea.

Yes I will let you know my results.

oh, Star, I don’t have that number, not even in my head. Sorry. It’s been a long career. You’ll just have to wait for test results . I’m guessing you will still test negative, if that helps.

I just wanted to let you know I tested negative. I was 2 days shy of 16 weeks. I wanted to say thanks for helping me. I appreciate it.

yippee! I’m so happy for you Star!
