A member asked:
Had unprotected sex, recent swollen glands, headache, body ache. elisa done @ 12 days, neg result. accurate or hiv infection still a possibility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibility: A negative ELISA result at 12 days after exposure does not rule out HIV infection. You should get a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 weeks, if it is negative, repeat it at 12 weeks. May He bless you with good health!
