A member asked:
To what extent is duo test (p24 and elisa) for hlv infection accurate and reliable after four weeks of sexual relation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too Soon to Test: This is way too soon to feel safe or to be reliable for HIV antibody testing. The better test in the early days following an exposure is the HIV RNA pcr test, testing for the virus itself. This test is accurate to 21 days post exposure.
