HIV testing after 6 weeks
I want to ask Dr. HHH about the percentage of accuracy of my HIV test in day 41 (roughly 6 weeks) since my exposure. I use 3rd generation test (antibody test). As i known, this test is not as reliable as 4th generation test (both antibody and antigen test). Do i need to re-test in week 12. Dr. HHH please answer my question. Thank you so much !!!
but according to Dr.HHH, 6 week test is 100% accuracy, can you explain for me? my exposure is unprotected sex
a test at 6 weeks is a very good indication of your status...but NOT conclusive. 3 months is when you can obtain a conclusive result.
what was your exposure?
