[jolly_d]

Anyone please help with this one!! IF you had a possible exposure to Hiv, how long Before Tests will pick up the infection, and how accurate are the rapid Hiv tests against the Elisa tests? If you are Elisa negative at 6 weeks after infection, does this mean that you are negative?? Could anyone help with this one?

3 months post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive negative test result.
