3 months post exposure is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result.

Polymerase chain reaction (English polymerase chain reaction, PCR) is the only test that can be used already 10-15 days after exposure. Does not LOOK FOR the antibody (as the ELISA or ECLIA tests)  it looks for the viruses composition of their RNA  (ribonucleic acid). This can detect early infection stage. IS A DOCTOR HERE TO ANSWER ME ABOUT THIS KIND OF TEST: PCR FOR HIV?
