I am planning to undertake hiv early detection panel from Dr. Safe hands. This panel includes 2 tests:- hiv 4th generation elisa and hiv- 1 pcr rna. My exposure was with a used blade at a barberplace. It has been around 30 days since this last exposure. I do not have any other current sexual exposure (s). Is this panel test sufficient or do I need to go for hiv- 2 pcr rna as well? Also, does the hiv iv gen elisa look for both antigens and antibodies or just the antibodies?

Hiv pcr rna is finally conclusive on 30 days of exposure so no need to worry about it.
