I had never do drugs, i just had stupid unprotected sex long ago, 10 years ago. Now i don/t know what kind of test is right for me after 10 years of unprotected risk contact. Is it antibody test, combi test or pcr? Help!

As far as i now p24 antigen test is not a very reliable test and it is used to detect hiv infections before the production of antibodies.get an antibody test dude and dont complicate yourselves!!!!

I have one more question: is it true that people in later stage of hiv will no longer have detectable antibodies?What about p24 test,when is p24 detectable? Teak, please!

I appreciate your decision to get tested and it is the only way you could know about your status.If your last unprotected sex act was 10 years ago you can go in a for a simple antibody test.good luck with your results.
