A member asked:
2 months after possible exposure, i had an hiv viral load test. result was negative ... how reliable are those tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very reliable: If the HIV viral load at 2 months is negative, and a concomitant elisa was negative as well, i would say it is beyond reasonable doubt that you are not infected.
