Rapid hiv blood test

[mek1]

Is the rapid uni-gold recombigen HIV antibody blood test 7 weeks post exposure by pricking the finger at planned parenthood clinic as accurate/reliable as the laboratory-based ELISA antibody test from Labcorp or Quest diagnostics?

Hello folks could you please clarify this for me I'm a bit confused.

The good new is I tested negative at 3 month but I'm still concerned about HSV 2 I tested 6 weeks post exposure for HSV 2 and 3 months post exposure they were negative. I did test positive for HSV 1 in both tests.  

I had one paper cut like sore in my public area my Dr. she looked at it and said it was HSV 2 but the blood test came back negative. When I asked her to do a culture of the sore she said the blood test was good enough now she told it's most likely caused by HSV 1.

Can I consider my 3 HSV 2 test to be conclusive at 3 months post exposure?  Different sources and online testing advisors give different informations i.e. 6 weeks, 6-12 weeks, 12 weeks and 4 months?

thanks

Yes it's just as accurate but it's not conclusive at 7 weeks.
