Loice Ombajo, Infectious Disease Specialist: If someone is exposed to HIV now, the usual tests we use may not pick the positivity because it takes a bit of time for the body to produce antibodies. If you test too early after exposure, you may have false negatives for a short while. The virus is generally constant. If someone keeps interrupting the treatment, the virus mutates, it changes its characteristics so that it becomes resistant to the treatment and that’s a concern #CitizenMondayReport |
