How long after exposure is an rna hiv test accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-7 days: HIV RNA can be detected by available methods like PCR within 3-7 days after exposure. If you suspect exposure it is recommended that you start post exposure prophylaxis (medication) within 3 days or as early as possible

Hi. How accurate/conclusive is a negative result of HIV RNA (early detection test) taken 4 weeks post exposure? My exposure was pretty low risk as told to me by my doctors. I will obviously be taking other follow up tests as time goes by. Thank you.
