I'm really worried after visiting a barber shop because I'm afraid I might have been exposed to infections like HBV, HCV, or HIV. Could you tell me more about when I should get tested? I heard that an antibodies test for HIV can be done after 4 weeks or even up to 12 weeks, but I also read something about a p24 antigen test that can be taken after 4 weeks. How accurate are these tests? I could really use some advice right now.

Antibodies test for HIV can be performed after 4 weeks for preliminary results, but for more accurate results, it is recommended to wait for 12 weeks post-exposure. The p24 antigen test can be performed after 4 weeks to detect the HIV virus directly. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm on MDR for about 15 months now, and I'm curious about how much longer I'll have to take these meds. Can you also help me with the side effects?
