HIV tridot antibody test negative till 10 weeks. Are there chances of turning into positive at 12 weeks?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Following is my opinion for your asked question.

HIV tri dot antibody test is having good sensitivity and specificity in ruling out HIV as like that of fourth generation ELISA. Usually tri dot HIV test is able to rule out HIV after six weeks of exposure. However, HIV test can be considered conclusive in ruling out HIV after three month of exposure. So, I suggest you investigate with HIV rapid test after 12 week again.

You can revert back with HIV report after 12 week of exposure to check it.

Following is my answer for your follow up query.

If you had done latest HIV test after 12 week of exposure then no need of repeat testing. But in your previous question you had mentioned that last test was done after 10 week of exposure. So, I recommend repeat resting after next few days means after three months or 12 weeks of exposure.

I can understand the questions arising in your mind. Following is my opinion for your asked question.

HIV tridot is equally effective like that of other test for HIV. There are many method for HIV testing. After 6 weeks, HIV tridot can be effective to rule out HIV. However as per guidelines, it is necessary to investigate again after 12 weeks of exposure to exclude HIV completely. So, do not worry about HIV tridot testing. It is equally good technique in rule out HIV like other test.

Usually, all pathology laboratory maintaining their standards for testing. So, you can trust the pathology laboratory for your testing. So, practically there is no need to test in different laboratory. You can get your test in good nearby pathology laboratory. Hope I have solved your query.
