A member asked:
If we exposed to hiv and take pep after one month of exposure.did antigen antibodies test be delayed for four months..i had tested with 4th gen test after four and half months after last course of pep.is this conclusive or delayed seroconverion?

Post exposure prophylactic treatment is ineffective after one month of exposure so it won't change the result of 4th generation test. You should be safe in test is negative after 4.5 months. Take care.
