A member asked:
Can i do pcr test for hiv, hepatitis , hpv 18,16,12 after 32 days of risk exposure? the result will be accurate and reliable? peace of mind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: AT 32 days, you should not have a PCR test for HIV, only the standard antigen-antibody test (4th generation). It will be conclusive. Its too early for hepatitis, though; wait until 6 weeks (although hepatitis is so rare after any single exposure that most experts don't recommend testing at all). Don't waste money on HPV testing; it takes several months to show up, and everybody gets HPV anyway.
