Confirmatory HIV test

Question: I did a sin and committed a risky act which could have lead to HIV transmission 20 years back. I have since repented and been faithful to my wife. I tested recently with a 4th generation test. It was negative. Can I move on with my life?


Answer: Yes, you should. A 4th generation test after 3 months is considered to be accurate. After 20 years you can safely depend on the result. No more testing is required. You are not infected with HIV.

Be aware!
