A member asked:
Should an rna test be taken at 10 weeks past exposure to test for hiv or should one take a 4th gen test at this time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any time more than 6 weeks after exposure, a negative AgAb (4th gen) HIV blood test is 100% proof that HIV infection isn't present. RNA testing isn't necessary.
