A member asked:
Dear drs after exposure how accurate is hiv rapid finger prick antibodies test at 120 days at clinic ? also planning to repeat after few months just what to know how much i will be fine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The HIV antibody fingerstick tests are always 100% conclusive by 90 days. If it's an antigen-antibody combination test (AgAb or "4th generation"), it's conclusive after 6 weeks. With your negative result at about 4 months, there is no need for any additional HIV testing. Don't waste your money.
