What is the accuracy of a standard hiv antibody blood test at 7 weeks after exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not certain the: numbers but you want to avoid checking HIV screening tests in the first 12 weeks due to the latent period of the virus. Most pundits recommend to test between 3-6 months of exposure where antibody levels tend to correlate with presence of virus in sufficient quantities for measurement.

I recently had a HIV antibody blood test with the dr. He asked when my last exposure was. I told him 8 years ago when it was really 6. I had a brain fart. Will that time difference matter at all?
