A member asked:

Is antigen/antibody hiv negative test reliable at 76 days after a potential exposure??

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

If it was a 4th generation combo antigen antibody test, it is reliable. To be sure, get a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 months after exposure. Wish you good health!

A blood from vein test good from 18 -45 days. A test from finger prick is 18-90 days. The nucleic acid test is 10 -33 days. All these tests are reliable so get the one that falls into the 90 day period.
