False negative result may occur with rapid HIV antibody test. The most accurate test will be fourth generation HIV test. Yes, for ruling out Hep C infection you should be retested at 6 months post exposure. By UPTODATE: ELISA tests for detecting anti-HCV antibodies become positive as early as eight weeks after exposure, with most patients seroconverting between two and six months after exposure.
