A member asked:
What hiv test is there for somebody that doesn't know when the last exposure was?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV testing: The full answer for this would include asking questions about sexual activity and frequency and partners. But, there are two types of HIV testing: the routine HIV antibody screening tests and the newer HIV pcr dna viral testing. In high risk settings or situations the second test is best...Or combining both tests is common in some settings.
