Answered on 13th Mar '24
Your <20 HIV test result means that it was not detected in the sample of your blood. While this is true it should be noted that up to 3 months were needed for the virus to appear in the test. If you have a concern regarding HIV exposure, it would be best to schedule an appointment with an infectious disease specialist. He or she will do a proper testing and will guide you through the process.
