Are HIV Results Usually Accurate After One Year Of Exposure?
This is prasad, last year ( february 2013) I had an unprotcted sex with a woman after 3 months I had gone for HIV Tridot test, result is Negative and again after 8 months from the date of participation I went for one more test(Tridot), result was Negative . Please confirm whether i need to take one more test or not. One of my friend told me that results are accurate after one year of exposure. I am kindly requesting you to clarify me on this, I am worrying so much on this.

Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
You are HIV negative person.
HIV tridot test detects antibodies against the HIV. It will be confirmative after three month of exposure.
As you tested your self for three month and eight months, you are surely HIV negative.
