A member asked:
After testing negative with 4th gen tests at the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th weeks post-exposure, should i still take another test at 12 weeks, or is it unnecessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The HIV AgAb (4th gen) blood tests are conclusive by 6 weeks. All tests after that were unnecessary. No need for yet another one.
