I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. In a low incidence setting, with very little ongoing transmission of hiv, most of the hiv infections which tests need to pick up will be infections that people have had for several months or years. For these long-standing infections, tests are extremely accurate and false negatives are therefore extremely rare. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
