HIV testing: F of unknown age, sexual and medical history notes: 4th generation HIV test was neg, for antibodies and reactive for antigens. RNA test was negative. Am I now confirmed negative for HIV? ANS: Depends on the prevalence of HIV in your area, how recent an infection might have been acquired & lab error. If exposure to HIV likely would retest n 3 months but discuss with team doing testing.
