Is PCR DNA and bDNA are same test?
I have had multiple symptoms after my last sex with a sex worker, and thus i went for an early HIV detection through lab corp at 30th day.
The results came back as negative and i had did Rapid Finger prick test at 28th day which came back negative as well.
My question is
1) Is bDNA and PCR DNA test same or different? If different which one is efficient?
2) The rapid antibody test ( finger prick and 20 minutes result) is it called the 4th generation test?
3) am i doing the right test or should i do some other test?
Rain lover, Hangon, nursegirl, bestorong? can any please help me with the answers... pls.. i m going crazy with my anxiety....
