P24 + Elisa after 38 days exposition
Hello, I took the Duo test (Elisa + P24), after 38 days and the result was negative, I felt so relieved when I saw an answer saying that if it was negative, then everything's ok, but then it mentioned a case of a person who took profilaxis and it did not work. I took the 30 day treatment and I would like to know if The result is not trusworthy because of the treatment I took, please somebody answer
The tests are not conclusive if you took PEP, you need a 6 months test

What was your risk?
6 months is very outdated. A test taken 30 months (90 days) after the last dose of PEP is conclusive.
As he said he took PEP, so it should be a high risk exposure
Op321 people on PEP post here every week who had zero exposure, so it is common practice to clarify if they are wasting their time.
