A member asked:
How reliable are the results from an hiv 1/2 ab eia test after 6 weeks (like 45 days post possible infection)? just trying to worry less.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nucleic acid test: Negative result on EIA is good but not the final word. You may get a HIV nucleic acid test and if that is negative at 6-8 weeks, you are in the clear. EIA needs to be repeated, as rarely, it may take up to a year to become positive.
