Hello I have dome 4 hiv lab test at 45,56,84, and 24 week 5.5 month all are negative but all test are rapid test it's conclusive or not should I repeat the test?

Question

If you have undergone multiple hiv tests and all of them have come back negative, it is highly likely that you are hiv negative. Rapid tests are generally accurate, but in rare cases, they can give a false negative result. However, since you have taken multiple tests and all have come back negative, it is unlikely that you have hiv. In general, if you are at high risk of hiv exposure or if you have any concerns about your test results, you should consult a healthcare professional who can advise you on further testing or treatment. They may recommend that you take another test, such as a western blot test or an rna test, which are more sensitive and specific for detecting hiv infection. Please leave a positive review, if you have found my answer helpful. Consult me on Lybrate or whatsapp for proper diagnosis and treatment. My consultation fee is just 50 rs.
