Hiv antibody negative after 5 months. could this be accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, HIV tests are very accurate. In fact, most HIV tests are usually 99% accurate. It is very rare to see false positive or false negative tests. In your case, we would interpret your HIV test as being negative from your exposure 5 months ago. Most people, if they were to get HIV from an exposure, tend to convert their HIV test from negative to positive within 2-3 months, some out to 6 months.
