HIV Test quality

Hi I went for a test on Harley Street in London at a private clinic, it was in the evening and I am wondering if they don't store my blood correctly over night ready for testing tomorrow will the virus in my blood (if there is any) be affected?

Thanks for any comments

Get a standard antibody test - You can test now but make sure to test at 3 months, Your 6 week will be unlikely to change at 3 months

Hi NickOne7

My test is the Due 28day test which tests for p45 (<<< or something like that ) and antibodies, will not storing it properly cause the p45 to die?

I am testing 6 weeks after exposure, with the 28 day duo test.
