[Question #4495] Test results!

80 months ago

Dear Doctors,

I did tye HIV test 3rd generation (antibody only)

72 days after the exposure and it came negative..

Is that conclusive?

Do I need to do any further tests?

Thank you..

Your results at 72 days (10+ weeks) after an exposure of concern using a laboratory based 3rd generation HIV antibody detection test are entirely reliable. You can be confident in your results. There is no need for further testing. EWH---
