Window period for different types of HIV
Hi all
Does anybody know if the window period for HIV-1 and HIV-2 are the same? With regards to the Rapid 4th Generation HIV-1/2 P24 Antigen/Antibody Combo (HIV Duo Test).

Well, the only test that matters is you own. You test is unlikely to change if you decide to retest.
Thank you for your reply.
I had unprotected vaginal sex with a female partner 25 days ago. Went for a rapid 4th generation test yesterday (24 days post-exposure) and the result was non-reactive for both strains. Partner also assured me that she has gone for testing previously and is non-reactive as well. How high is my risk, given the above information?
