A member asked:
Does cdcs guideline of 90 days cover all regardless of hiv test , generation, rapid ,lab , home , clinic , blood from vein or finger prick ? or does the 90 day guideline only cover certain situations. excluding prep and hcv co inf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CDC has stated 45 days for the HIV AgAb ("4th generation") blood test, and 6 weeks usually is sufficient for most others. However, 90 days often makes sense to provide a reassuring margin of error. This applies to all test types.
