Question : Hello Dr.! I just had a combined HIV 1/2 antibody and p24 antigen test after exactly 26 days of my exposure. The test was negative. How reliable is the test (% number would be great)?
Brief Answer:
The combined HIV 1/2 antibody and P24 antigen tests are highly reliable.
Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxx,
Welcome to HCM.
The combined HIV 1/2 antibody and P24 antigen tests are 95-98% reliable as well as accurate after 4 weeks. So don't worry as the risk of getting the HIV infection is very very rare in your case. Be relaxed and move ahead in life happily.
Thank You
