Is it accurate to use a test strip for 4 weeks?

Patient's question:

Is it reliable to test with an HIV 1/2 test strip after 4 weeks? During these 4 weeks, I had epididymitis, which has not yet healed. The test result was negative. Should I retest? I used the Aikang test strips from Zhejiang!

Doctor's answer:

If it's just buying from a regular pharmacy, this situation should not be a big problem. It's best to have a blood test done at the hospital, as it is quite accurate. If the test results are also negative, it can basically be ruled out.
