A member asked:

Can negative test results be trusted for a prostitute with hiv antibody rapid test and hiv duo test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: If the person just acquired the infection, she or he may be carrying the virus that will not be detected by either antibody or antigen tests. Testing for viral nucleic acid is the earliest way to detect HIV infection.
