How accurate are hiv blood tests?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
HIV: Typical testing regimen is at 1 month (more than 28 days) and 6 months. If either is positive, you will be offered medications that reduce the viral load in your bloodstream. You should talk to your Dr about using PrEP while you are waiting for results, and even if they come back negative. These prophylactic meds can prevent HIV infection during high risk encounters.

Nucleic acid test: A negative result of a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 months after exposure rules out infection. Visit this site for info: https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html Wish you good health!
