Thanks

Just found out that
HIV-1/2 Ak / p24 Ag (CLIA);  

To clarify the above from German, it's all together an HIV-1 & HIV-2 Antibody test with another test of the p24 protein.

how accurate is that test and at what time frame ? ( I know you said I have no risk but so that I know for future reference) Thanks Vance

So no risk then. Because when a condom breaks you know it.

I only saw the P24-ag part. Not sure about that 1st part, seems to be a antibody test. But call the place who administered the test.

And again what was your risk?
