HIV pcr testing
How accurate is a HIV pcr test done at 21 days after potential exposure?
CyberDoc
This test is very accurate but remember that most people who contract HIV (at least 97%) will only have positive results after 3 to 4 months. So if you are concerned, repeat the test within the next 2 to 3 months.
