A member asked:

Hiv rna test 10 days post exposure-accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Christopher Smith answered

RNA-testing: at 14 day post exposure---an undetectable HIV RNA is a strong sign that you are not infected. I would do the recommended testing at 4-6 weeks with antibody testing if negative --home free

Dr Seibert agreed
