A member asked:
How accurate is an hiv rna test at 15 days post exposure? it was negative. i took the aptima hiv-1 rna qualitative assay with tma method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That test detects most but not all new HIV infections at 15 days, around 90-95%. You should also have an antigen-antibody (AgAb, "4th generation") blood test at 4 weeks. You can expect it to be negative, and the combination of that and the negative RNA test will be conclusive.
