A member asked:
Is pcr should be repeated if it gave negative result after exposure by one month, if yes after how much time shd be repeated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Did you take : Prophylaxis? It would be important to test six months post-exposure. You may do antibody tests periodically rather than repeating pcr tests. A test has been approved for home use.
