HIV: RT-PCR Quantitative Test - Roche Diagnosis V2

Dear Doctor,

Could you please tell me if the above mentioned test taken after 2 weeks of a sexual exposure that comes with a Negative result (undetectable) + an Antibody Test taken after one month that also comes with a Negative result can be conclusive?

Kind Regards

Cabeca
