Geron,

Are you donating to a family member or to a good friend?

About a year ago I read that 5% of the people on the national kidney wait list are FORMER kidney donors.

That put a chill down my spin.

In the past I had thought seriously about making an altruistic donation.

I will still take the risk for friends and family, but pure altruism, sorry, that impulse has ended.

I just read through a list of Google articles on the “HIV Window” period.

That means, how much time must pass before an initial infection can first be detected.

The shortest “Window” period I found was 9 days.

4-8 weeks seems to be the generally accepted “Window.”

Almost every source recommended re-testing at 3 months and 6 months for absolute certainty.
