ya..agree on you.. I saw that after 12 weeks of exposure may be the p24 antigen r not detectable,
I am so anxious that I can't just trust the tridot test which was negative after 87 days of exposure...I am planning to do dna pcr test again..
I have lost my apatite and feeling so little pain in my right armpit, dont know, it was all for anxiety or not..
What ur view on nasal steriod, do it suppress antibodies so they are not detectable, ...actually I was on nasal steroid for one month..Please answer me that...if your answer is yes, then I will plan to do DNA PCR test.
Thanks

1) IF nasal steroid delays the window period for rapid antibody test  NO

2) If nasal steroid effect on P24 antigen test.   NO

Your test is conclusive, you don't have HIV.  Put this behind you.
