I took a PCR RNA HIV test on day 20 and it came negative. My activity was low risk. but is this test reliable on day 20?

You had no risk from oral sex and protected vaginal sex. No risk means that you do not need to test.

Hi here we depend on Antibodies and antigen test as I know the pcr is not approved to diagnoses . What was your risk ? And as I know pcr is conclusive after 2 weeks .
