A member asked:
Can you tell me is a negative 5.5 month hiv test good enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What type of test?: If the test was for HIV nucleic acid and it was negative, it is good enough. If it was test for HIV antibody it is nearly good enough but you should repeat it in about three months.
