A member asked:

I tested negative on an hiv blood test will that be accurate when i tested 2months after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It depends on the type of test done. A negative antibody test is not definitive at 2 months after exposure. A test for HIV nucleic acid if negative at three months after exposure essentially rules out HIV infection.
