PCR
Hi, everyone.
May I ask a question?
I had a PCR test after doubtful expsure in 17 days from a sexual activity.
But I heard that PCR could only detect hiv-1 virus.
To detect hiv-2, Should I have another antibody test in 4 weeks?
I am very concerned about that.
Please , reply for me.
Thank-you.

HIV-2 is extremely rare outside of West Africa. You don't need to worry about it.
