Question
sir whether cough/cold can give false result of hiv antibody?at 50 day of exposer how much reliable?

Answer
I don't see a cold giving you a false reading because it is a blood test.  I have always heard that six months prior to exposure you should get tested but some do say that three months is good.  It all really depends on the doctor and what they think.

AIDS

Experience

I am attending school for my licenses to teach in Cell and Molecular divison, this is a recent change in my career I was going to school for surgical technology. We have to know all about STDS and other diseases. My personal experience is I have HPV. It is not AIDS or HIV but it is a STD that can cause cancer. I had to deal with the stages of feeling dirty and unworthy and scared. I think that I can help people get past this and further their knowledge of HIV and AIDS.
