A member asked:

Should i go for antibody test after testing negative for dna pcr for hiv1&2 after 90 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need: If HIV nucleic acid test as negative at 90 days after exposure, HIV is essentially ruled out and no further testing is needed, unless you have had other exposures.
