How long does it take to get a secure result of hiv 1,2 antibody test ? 3months or 6months or 9 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Six weeks: The AgAb (duo, combo, 4th generation) blood tests are conclusive 6 weeks or more after exposure. For 3rd generation antibody tests, 8 weeks. Where older (e.g. 2nd generation) antibody tests are still in use, 3 months. Also 3 mo. for oral fluids test. Never longer: advice for testing beyond 3 months or more is left over from old tests no longer used; or from sources unfamiliar with modern tests.

How long does it take to get the results of a hiv-antibody test?
It's true that people who living with autoimmune disease they late to develop antibodies when they get HIV it'll take even more than one year for them to develop antibodies for HIV but when they going to test their test are negative but they have hiv?
So, Ive been trying to get past this HIV scare(awaiting most recent 49 day result but negative @ 40 days). However, I just read that Corticosteroids can affect antibody production. I take Advair 250mg twice a day! Should I take RNA test instead????
Is a HIV negative blood test (antibody test) after 6 month from exposure conclusive? Or should I take another one.
Im concern i had labs drawn and one of the test hiv-1 antibody value <1.00 and range <1.00 but the result says "negative". What doea this mean?
