Reply To: false negative, what now

No, I don’t believe this is likely a first outbreak by the index value numbers. They are quite high for 9 days. Do you know what lab ran the testing? you wrote 2004. Do you mean 2014?
How long have you been having sex with this partner?
You will likely shed about 15 days out of 100 days that pass. With antiviral medicine, that is about 7-8 percent of days.
Hard to know if the virus is still active. You really can’t know at any given time if the virus is active, honestly, without a swab test. Maybe, maybe not.
