AIDS question?!

AIDS question?

Im a female, 21 i havent had sex in a year now and in the past ive had unprotected sex. ive been checked 7months after the last time i had intercourse. everything came back negative.

does this mean im good for the rest of my life now? or do i have to keep checking up to see if the aids will pop up?

and no im not having any kind of sexual relationship at all or will i be in the future

If you've been tested at least six months after the last time you had unprotected sex, you do not have HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS can take as long as six months to show up on test results, but after that you should be able to know for sure if you do or you don't.

"Window Period

The "window period" is the time it takes for a person who has been infected with HIV to react to the virus by creating HIV antibodies. This is called seroconversion.

During the window period, people infected with HIV have no antibodies in their blood that can be detected by an HIV test, even though the person may already have high levels of HIV in their blood, sexual fluids, or breast milk.

Here is what the CDC says about the window period:

"Antibodies generally appear within three months after infection with HIV, but may take up to six months in some persons."

This CDC definition of a three to six month window period has been commonly used for a number of years.

What does this mean for you?

* The three month window period is normal for most of the population. Many people will have detectable antibodies in three or four weeks. Very, very rarely (i.e., only a few cases ever), a person could take six months to produce antibodies."
