What do you mean?: You don't tell us what test you have had. If you had an antibody test 6-7 months after unprotected sex and it is negative, odds are that you are fine. If this is not the case, i can't answer your question.

Is 4th gen combo Ab/Ag HIV test really conclusive 6 weeks post exposure? I keep seeing different opinions from different docs here in Healthtap, some say 6 weeks, some say 12 weeks, and some even say RNA test after 6 months. Which is it?
