A member asked:
Is hiv dna pcr test effective at three weeks of exposure while under pep ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asked and Answered: I believe this has been answered. Hiv pcr testing while on pep is not in any way appropriate to diagnose HIV infection. Once pep is stopped then HIV pcr testing is absolutely accurate three weeks after stopping the treatment.
