Testing three weeks after rash
Hi all, i had a rash for a week at start of third week after condom broke with a thai csw vaginal sex . i tested after 5 weeks and got a negative result one week after rash had gone i tested on 7 weeks got a negative result. What i am wondering is if it was an ars rash should i have had detectable antibodies 3 weeks after rash had gone on an elisa test in uk gum clinic. thanks
It's possible for the body to not have produced enough antibodies for the test to detect. Test again at 12/13 weeks post exposure and the test will be conclusive.
