My elisa hiv test came up negative after 1month exposure. how accurate is this test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
90%: There's a period of time after a person is infected during which they won't test positive. This is called the “hiv window period.” The window period can be from 9 days to 3-6 months, depending on the person's body and on the HIV-test that's used.
