I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The hiv rna test is deemed to be 100% conclusive if done after 10 to 12 days from the date of exposure. There are some theories that say this test becomes less accurate from about 3 months post exposure. This is because at 3 months post exposure, the body would have made antibodies to fight the hiv virus. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
