The HIV RNA test is determined to be about 99% conclusive after 28 days from the time of exposure.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Allergy Rhinitis/Asthma/Inhalant Maxi Panel Test or Take a Toxoplasma IgG & IgM Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor, I tested negative on a 45 day HIV combo antigen and antibody test, and also negative on a 67 day HIV antibody test. Is it still possible for the test to turn positive after 90 days? Please advise.

I had protected sex with a woman using two condoms at the same time for about 10 minutes. Later, I read online that using two condoms together is not recommended, and I became worried. I took three HIV tests (rapid and ELISA) at around 30 days after the encounter, and all came back negative. Do I need to get tested again, or is it not necessary?
