Testing Question
Hi,
I am very worried and hope that getting an answer here will help my worries.
I had a "low risk" exposure a while ago. I had a full screening after 31 days and was told that this conclusive. I had a duo test so this covers HIV and was told that the urine test covered infections that have a window period of 14 days. I seem to get mixed info when looking at syphilis online it says between 2 weeks and 90 days so do I need to retest? the nurse seemed sure 31 days was conclusive/
Thanks for your reply in advance.
