A member asked:
Can the inst hiv-1/hiv-2 antibody rapid test be reliable after 62 days to possible hiv exposure? test results were negative. could this be reliable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV Testing: No, unfortunately. For the routine HIV antibody tests you need a minimum of three months or 90 days and a safe view of six months. However there is testing that is much more reliable. This is the HIV pcr dna testing. This test, if negative after 21 days post exposure is 100% accurate if negative.
