hello;
my doctor tells me a confirmatory hiv test should be done 12 weeks after exposure. go in for another test after 12 weeks to confirm your status
bo is better to know your status from where u can know how to live a healthier life

good indication...NOT conclusive.

if you had unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse or shared iv drug works...a test at 3 months post exposure will give you a conclusive result.
