A member asked:
Is hiv rna testing only good within the first couple of weeks after exposure? or can they be reliable and accurate at a 3 month mark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AT 3 MONTHS: Hiv RNA test which tests for viral load turns positive within 9 days of infection before body develops antibodies to HIV virus.It will still be positive at 3 months and is reliable as well.
