Hiv dna

[Johndoedytr]

I had an hiv dna by labcorp with hiv 1/2 antibody at 31 days is that the same as the duo?

[LIZZIE LOU]

you had NO risk AND you have a negative 10 week antibody result.

you DONT have hiv.

Not always,this is why a DUO would have been a much better option because it would detect p24 antigen if antibodies haven't been produced yet.

If she had any infection the PCR would pick it  up wouldnt it?

[RainLover71]

It appears as though you had a HIV DNA by PCR which is another name for an Hiv viral load test.This test is not used for diagnostic purposes but rather to monitor the viral load of an infected person.The test you should have had was the DUO/COMBO test because at 31 days this test is excellent.
