Hi,

CMIA test detect both antigen as well antibody. So it can effectively rule out HIV after 6 week of exposure.So mostly you are not having HIV infection. But let me know you that WHO recommend to investigate again after three month of exposure.

So you have to repeat at that time. If you want to exclude HIV just now and don't want to repeat test after 3 month of exposure than investigate with western blot like molecular test which is confirmatory test.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
