Is A HIV Antibody Test Done After 30 Days Conclusive?
Brief Answer:
HIV 1 free. HIV to be ruled out after 12 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
HIV Antibody detecting test becomes more conclusive only after 12 weeks following the high risk contact.
But your negative HIV qualitative RNA test 33 days after exposure is more conclusive, but mostly these antigen based test would cover and rule out only HIV 1 infection only.
But HIV 1 infection is the commonest one throughout the world other than XXXXXXX almost to more than 99%.
If you want o be sure about both HIV 1 and 2, then you must have one more antibody based test after 12 weeks.
You are free from HIV 1 infection.
If you have more questions feel free to ask.
