when testing is accurate
just wanted to know when is the earliest a person can be tested with the oral quick swab test to be detected with HIV...i heard its 4 weeks after exposure it can show up. don't know if that is true though.
Please don't create multiple threads,keep your comments and questions to ONE thread. It cuts down on confusion and allows other people to get their questions answered in a timely manner also.
2 weeks is the earliest with an HIV RNA by PCR or an HIV DUO at 4 weeks.Please keep all questions to one thread and what was your exposure.
