dna pcr at 12 weeks
How accurate is hiv dna pcr at 12 weeks? I know you can take an antibody test at this time also for a conclusive result. but just wondering. I am thinking about taking a dna pcr and an antibody test at 12 weeks.
3 months is when one can get a conclusive negative result. There are no tests approved to give a conclusive negative test earlier than 3 months.
plzhelpca,
Read the Dr's forums on test times here. If you test negative with an antibody test now, you don't have HIV.

yeah u are right since i have only have 2 more weeks until 12 weeks and I have been negative so far. Please pray for me I am negative at 12 weeks.
Don't waste your money on a PCR test at this point. This is tantamount to throwing your cash in the trash.
A PCR-DNA test is not an approved diagnostic test. As you've been told just take the antibody test at 12 weeks.
so what you are saying is since I am only 2 more weeks away from my 12 week test I just have to do a standard antibody test?
84 days will be conclusive thats when i stopped testing i would do a rapid test and not waste my money on the other test plus you will know your results in 10 to 30 mins
