Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query at HCM
I understand your concern and situation
Tridot test is a rapid test for HIV which detects IgG antibodies against the HIV 1&2. It is a rapid and sensitive test with reliability of 99.9%. It is approved by WHO. There is no need to worry, test is negative means you are negative for HIV. You need no further tests. But if you have any conflicts in your mind you can get tested by PCR & ELISA 4th generation for HIV for your psychological advantage. Just relax and don't worry you must concentrate on family and profession. Always use barrier methods for intercourse.
