HIV saliva test 3 weeks after possible exposure
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my question! I had a possible exposure to HIV 3 weeks ago. I went for a saliva HIV test today that was negative. I know the window period is at least 6 weeks, but I couldn't wait any longer. I have been very worried. What are the chances that this test could detect if I were infected? Thank you!
Thank you! It was an occupational exposure; blood to nonintact skin. I know the risk is minimal, but still concerned.
3 weeks is to early to receive a conclusive result,unfortunatly.At 3months you will get a conclusive result.what was your exposure?
