Dr. Handsfield,

I apologize for the need to ask a new question each time I respond. I usually don’t reply within the allotted 28 days. However, I don’t mind paying each time as I am happy to donate to this site whenever I can!

It has now been 6 weeks since I took my last dose of Truvada, and I am going to take a 4th generation test. I understand this was a virtually no-risk exposure, but my anxiety is preventing me from sleeping, eating, and working. I just want to confirm that this 6-week test will be 100% conclusive and that I won’t need to retest. I need this to be over so I can move on with my life.

I also took an Oraquick test (using saliva) 38 days after stopping Truvada, and it was negative. I’m guessing it doesn’t mean much, but I’m seeking any reassurance I can get.

As always, thank you, and I hope this is the last time you hear from me.
