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.

View allI took a Prega News test and it came out positive. We had sex on 29th June, and after 20 days the test showed positive. What should we do next, and which medicines (if any) need to be taken at this stage?

I had unprotected sex with an unknown partner 65 days ago. Today, I did an HIV 1 and 2 antibody test, which came back negative. I do not have any symptoms related to HIV, but I have had allergic throat irritation and acne problems for the past year. Am I safe from HIV, and is this test conclusive at this stage?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Sir, I have a doubt regarding HIV testing. If a person tests negative at 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or even 10 years after exposure, but later tests positive, is it true that this depends on the immune system? Does this mean there is no conclusive test for HIV?
