teak my hiv test negative after 15 months but i have painfull bumps on shoulders white coated tongue and weakness is this due to hiv?
The antigen part of a duo test is good from week 1 to week 4. Only the antibody part of the test is effective after the 4th week. You can obtain your conclusive negative test result 3 months post exposure.
duo may be a bit costly and its not needed after 12 weeks.
stand alone antibody test is enough
stand alone antibody test is enough
Regardless of how high your risk was, an HIV antibody test 12 weeks after exposure will give you conclusive results. A negative result will mean that you do not have HIV no matter what your exposure history was.
Just a question can you still take a duo test after your 12 week's and visit still effective?
get tested with a duo at 4 weeks post exposure to know your status & follow up with a antibody test at 12 weeks post exposure.
