HIV Early detection RNA Test reliability
I tested negative in an early detection RNA test that was administered at labcorp. I took it 18 days after exposure. How conclusive is this test? I also took the regular HIV tests and those were negative but I realize 18 days is too soon For those to be conclusive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks teak. So I should ignore the RNA result? Nothing to be gained from that?
I read that a 4th generation test is conclusive at 4 weeks but I have also read the 3 month date as well. Thanks for your time.
