Hello doctor.. is hiv pcr test rna hiv-1 at 10 days undetectable conclusive? how accuracy the test is? 17 days rapid test 4 th non reactivate.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too soon: 10 or 17 days after exposure is not long enough for the results to be reliable. If the result is positive it is generally reliable. To definitively rule out HIV you need to do rna test at 6 months after exposure. Visit this site for more info on this topic : https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/testing.html Wish you good health!
