Is Duo test is reliable at 26th day

I get the P24 antigen and HIV1/2 antibody test at 26th day of possible exposure. It came negative.

Is it reliable at 26th day. I will definately get tested at 3 months. I am also taking some Antidepressant, will that impact the test result?

Thanks

Depends on the medication, when you take it and how long you've been on it. You should discuss it with your doctor if they are not to up on HIV testing. It's better to go to a clinic that deals with HIV and STDs.

Thanks to all of you, will definately get tested after 3 months.
I was curious that this duo test is suggetsed after 28 days but I get it after 25 days, will it be same as after 28 days?
Also taking antiviral drugs for HSV can impact the status of test after 3 months?

Kalu was correct you will still need to get your 3 month test for it to be conclusive.
