Is there any antibody test available to detect both Antibody and Antigen? I tested in Norway after three months post exposure. The doctor told me that it is a new generation test with much accuracy.. Can I believe the results? If you have any information about the tests used in Norway, I feel very happy to know that... Thank you in advance

I took this test in Norwegian Government health centre. It is a part of the famous Norwegian University Hospital. I am sure they are following the approved testing methods. Can I take your words and move on?

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV from receiving a blowjob and you don't need testing. If you had, unprotected anal or vaginal sex and the DUO test is NOT approved in your area. You can take a P24 test and then at the proper time take the ELISA test. Here is an evalation of the DUO Ultra test. You'll see that it doesn't have any advantages really over the third generation ELISA tests.
