Definitely. I'm sure the then-flawed antibody tests would be retired and replaced with PCR tests.

"PCR" doesn't mean "more precise". It's limited to viral DNA/RNA presented. I don't think there is much HIV circulating, if you're not sero-converting. HIV isn't shedding constantly.

E.g. SARS2 PCR will often fail for blood samples.
