Hi Doc,

I tested again at 78 days (11 weeks) with a 4th generation AB / AG test and it came out non reactive / negative - Is this conclusive for both HIV-1 and HIV-2. I want to test at 12 weeks, do you think its necessary ? I have had a runny nose for a week

Welcome to our forum. Thanks for your questions and you were implied confidence in our service. A runny nose is not a sign of HIV.

Your 78 day HIV test results are entirely conclusive for HIV one and HIV two. There is no need for further testing. Please put any concerns you might have about HIV aside and move on.  EWH
