A member asked:

Negative rna at 3 weeks and negative antibody at 7 weeks, does this mean i am safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do you mean HIV?: If you are talking about hiv, the time periods you mentioned are too short to rule out hiv. Negative HIV nucleic acid at three months and negative antibody at one year would be needed to be sure.
