How long does it take to detect HIV?

Описание: The window period for an HIV test refers to the time between HIV exposure and when a test can detect HIV in your body. The window period depends on the type of HIV test used.

There are antibody tests, a rapid antigen/antibody test, an antigen/antibody lab test using blood from a vein and a nucleic acid test (NAT). Each has a different time period for detecting HIV.

If you get an HIV test after a potential HIV exposure and the result is negative, get tested again after the window period for the test you took.4
If you test again after the window period, have no possible HIV exposure during that time, and the result is negative, you do not have HIV.

The CDC recommends everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once. If I had been tested earlier I might not have the numerous health problems I struggle with.

If you've been sick and no one can figure out what 's wrong, you can always do an at home self test. OraQuick In-Home HIV Test (https://amzn.to/3IX9dp7) is an FDA approved over-the-counter HIV test that allows you to test quickly and easily in the comfort of your own home.
