Dear lybrate-user,
This test is not final. I simply indicates absence of "presence of virus" Negative results may only indicate that the person has been exposed but the infection has not yet developed. If you believe that you have been exposed you should repeat the test.
Regards.

Genetic material from the virus (hiv rna or dna).

The investigations and treatment look OK to me. It takes 12 weeks for your disease to be under control. But I want you to understand that the test they do as a part of medical screening is a Hepatitis C antibody test and this test may not become negative at all even if you are cured of the disease. Based on your Hepatitis C viral load after 12/24 weeks, we will have to give you a special clearance stating that your disease is cured and you will not transmit the disease to anybody else.
