Question about hiv testing. i took a test that says it detects both antigen and antibodies, however it was a rapid test. they took my blood from a vein, instead of a finger. test material serum, results in evening. how accurate at 8.3 (58 days) wks?

All antigen-antibody (AgAb, "4th generation") HIV blood tests are conclusive after 45 days, regardless of finger stick versus blood drawn from a vein. It is 100% certain you do not have HIV.
