1.If you have taken any 'risk' in last three months, you need to repeat the

test at the end of three months of the last exposure.

2. In my experience, in the past, Tridot gives false negative as well as

false positive results, hence, it is better to recheck by another

technique - either ELISA or spot.

3. To detect HIV infection, history, clinical examination and HIV tests, all

three are important.
