The need for a repeat HIV test if still within the window period after a specific exposure should be discussed. Although fourth generation tests shorten the time from exposure to seroconversion a repeat test at three months is still recommended to definitively exclude HIV infection.

The risk of a 30 day DUO being false would be 0.02%  sir.

Teak is Correct. Oral is very very very very very Low risk. You DID not have a risk.

Tealk I was directly answering the question this person posed. I wasn't trying to undermine you- I was stating what it says on the packet. I didn't say it was "conclusive".

Are you a nurse Teak?

DUO test are no different that any other test. They are conclusive at 3 months post exposure.  He stated ORAL.
