HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have a history of exposure then after the exposure the exact positive effect of the viral infection comes after the several weeks before this if you get the done then this would surely comes negative, for to get the exact and accurate result one must wait couple of months even more than this, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
