How many days after exposure is the HIV Tridot rapid antibody test considered conclusive? Is the Tridot test a reliable test?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The HIV Tridot rapid antibody test is reliable after 90 days (12 weeks) post exposure for a conclusive result, as it detects antibodies that take time to develop. Testing earlier may miss infections. For early detection, an HIV RNA PCR test can be done after 14 days. If negative at 90 days with Tridot, it is considered conclusive. Always practice safe sex and consult your doctor if worried about exposure.

Doctor, I had a proviral DNA test done 55 days after exposure, and the result was negative. Do I still need any further testing? I am getting married next month and want to be sure.

I had protected sex with a commercial sex worker in Malaysia for the first time in my life. Out of fear I underwent PCR DNA test and Tridot test after 35 days. Both results were negative. Please suggest further help? I am suffering from anxiety and depression because of guilt.
