A member asked:
Bloods done for hiv at gum clinic. would this test for antigens or antibodies or both? tested 15 months out.

Doesn't matter: At 15 months, it doesn't matter. Any and all HIV tests that exist will detect HIV infection if more than a few weeks have passed and for sure after 3 months. If your test result was negative, for sure you don't have HIV. That said, my understanding is that most UK GUM clinics routinely use the duo test for antibody and antigen. But why don't you just call the clinic and ask?

Why do some clinic say HIV 4th gen antigen/antibody testing is very accurate at 21 days while some say 28 days. Is it because they use different 4th gen kits?
