a large percentage of ppl infected with hiv will show a positive test result at 4 weeks...so for those that do test positive...it is reliable.

a conclusive test result is at 3 months.

Thank you
Please answer 2nd question.
A friend of mine had same experience one month ago.
But he didn't use condom, so he worries so much.
4 Week rapid kit test is reliable?

you are free from hiv...NOT because you didnt have any symptoms...but because you were NEVER at risk.

not everyone exhibits symptoms of early infection.
