I had a high risky exposure some 127 days(18 weeks) ago,thru unprotected viginal sex (3 times in one night) with an HIV positive gal,only got to know abt it the following morning after test and i was immediately put on nPEP within 24 hours,i took nPEP for about 6 weeks by ignorance,Now i have bought an antibody,ACON HIV 1/2/0 rapid test device, i i did the test and only the control(c) line is visible (negative), my question is,how accurate can this test be?its now over 12 weeks since i finished nPEP and 18 weeks from exposure, and can the test results be affected coz i tested my self,i have done all the steps outline in it.Please help, im in an area where i cant get tested privately,
