pre-natal blood tests
i am 7 weeks pregnant and went for a pre-natal blood test 2 weeks ago.
my question: if the results of the HIV test was negative, does this mean that i am completely safe, or should i be tested again later on in pregnancy (had unprotected sex with a stranger about 4 months before a became pregnant)

You should go for another test as the window period is 3-6weeks and your test was done on 5 weeks.
