A member asked:
Is hiv rna test result at 4 weeks conclusive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: ...virtually all persons with newly acquired HIV have positive RNA tests by 2-3 weeks after infection. However, most experts would also recommend an antibody test (or antigen-antibody -- i.e. AgAb, "4th generation") in addition to RNA testing.

A member asked:
Hi. How accurate/conclusive is a negative result of HIV RNA (early detection test) taken 4 weeks post exposure? My exposure was pretty low risk as told to me by my doctors. I will obviously be taking other follow up tests as time goes by. Thank you.
