My understanding is that 3 weeks after exposure, at least 90-95% of people with new HIV infections would have a positive result on at least one of the 2 components of the Duo test (P24 antigenCea
Histocompatibility antigen test
Hla-b27 antigen
Psa or antibody by ELISAElisa
Elisa/western blot tests for hiv
Lyme disease antibody). But that doesn't mean there is a 5-10% chance you have HIV. If you are a male and had vaginal sex with a broken condom, the odds are very strong that you did not catch HIV.
You don't need to wait 3 months. A negative antibody test at 6 weeks will be 100% proof you didn't catch HIV. For more information, read any of a few hundred threads on this forum about time to positive HIV test results.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
