Abbott Ag/Ab combo test strip 26 days after possible exposure
Dear All
I posted the sex i had on 15 June.
I went to the CDC 14 days after possible exposure to get a test, it was neg,and went to another hospital 18 days after possible exposure,it was neg,then I bought the abbott 4th generation ag/ab combo test strip and did a test myself 26 days after possible exposure,the result is negative, is it sufficiant enough to prove that I am not infected?
I have so many rashes on the right side of my back,30 over big rashes,on the left side,there are about 8 rashes,they have been there for about 10 days,now most of them are fading, but still some new small ones come out.
Thank you very much
Jerry

Hi, Teak, I do not mean to offend you, but there is something called 4th generation abbott test paper, the 3rd generation only has one area on the test paper named Ab(anti body),but the 4th generation has 2 areas,one is Ab and another one is Ag(antigen),it has been used to test p24 antigen for early suspect. inverness medical takes over this, in Japan,canada,australia,they use this a lot now. this test paper is also widely used in CDC and some big hospitals in China too. but it is not widely used for every single test yet.
anyways, you can check more information for this abbott test paper.
I am not trying to fight against you, just want to tell you the information.
I hope everyone here is all Neg

Yes, i think there is one test paper by abbott company can be used for rapid test, and it can be done at home.
Test are reassuring but not accurate, therfore need to be repeated.. A hiv duo test after 28days shold be done followed by a test at 90 days to rule out no infection
