Question 1

were can i get hiv rna pcr test?

Accepted Answer

Almost anywhere: Any doctor can order this, but if there is an std or HIV clinic near you that is a good place to go. Some commercial laboratories may do this without a doctor's order. Call and ask. Good luck and hope this is negative.

Question 2

is a hiv rna pcr test pretty accurate at 13 days post exposure?

Accepted Answer

: No. Testing at 13 days post-exposure is too soon to rule out HIV. If the result is positive, it is definitive. For a definitive negative result you need to get the test a 6 months after exposure. You may repeat the test between now and 6 months and it stays negative, do get it at 6 months.

Accepted Answer

Be glad: You're not infected. Love safely from now on and be grateful for your health.

Question 4

is a negative hiv rna pcr test conclusive at 21 days after a potential exposure? what about a negative 4th gen duo test at 28 days? any help/advice is greatly appreciated?

Accepted Answer

: It is good that the test results were negative and your risk of having HIV is remote. To be sure repeat the 4th gen duo test a 6 weeks after exposure.
HIV is only one of the STDs. A condom may not protect against HPV, Herpes, LGV, syphilis, pubic lice etc. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an evaluation.
