Well, there goes my "record" all to hell. After a 100% conversion rate (via a point) over 8 guys, number 9 (ninth to be tested...was #7 to take my crimson scourge) has tested negative---twice. Once was a home test and kind of on the line of being too early. The second time was at clinic and well withing the "window". So much for being a "guaranteed" process. Number 10 is still too early....but within a couple more weeks, he should know as well.
Sadly, number nine has declined my offer to try again. Perhaps he got all the thrill he wanted.......-

But you do realize that those rapid HIV tests are kinda fucked up right? They only measure the antibodies created by the virus fighting the body and despite certain statistics there are tons of people who's bodies will not produce antibodies for up to 90 days and in some cases I've heard of even 6months, a year or longer. It does happen! Just depends on the immune system of the person infected. Now if they had blood drawn and tested in a lab where they check antibodies and antigens(the actual virus in the blood) no matter how far along or how great their immune system they will test positive bc in the lab they focus on looking for the virus in the blood...not the byproducts the virus creates as your body tries to fight it off. I think you could still have a perfect record. For the above reasons I never took it personally when a rapid test said Neg. I'd always follow with a blood draw that my Dr or clinic would send to a lab. If infected, the virus (the antigens) are present and you're Poz no it's ands or buts about it. But if someone's looking to convert and only using rapid testing for their stamp of approval they may be disappointed. I've actually known Poz guys who've gone with me to do a rapid test for the kink factor of it and tested themselves and tested Neg on a rapid test...simply bc at that point their VL could be low or UD and they may not be producing enough antibodies at that point in time to show on the rapid test. The human body is an enigma...from person to person we're all so different that we have to remember the statistics we hear from the gov't regarding the testing and accuracy was all done in a controlled study under the best of circumstances. Don't get discouraged. You have a gift to share. I wish we lived closer bc you know I'd GLADLY take a slam of your strain!

Yeah and so would I like to take his strain too. Need a top up.
