I Did A Hiv Duo Test When Negative Do I Need A Retest
Brief Answer:
You can repeat the test after 90 days to rule out the possibility for sure.
Detailed Answer:
Dear ,
HIV Duos Antigen Antibody Combo Test is highly conclusive after 6 weeks but still there is very rare possibility that the result can come positive up-to 12 weeks. There is nothing to worry because the repeat test is just to remove all the doubts from your mind so just relax, forget whatever has happened and live your life normally.
Further, I suggest to always share the details of exposure which will be very useful in providing the guidance. If still any query is there, feel free to ask me any time.
Thank You
