I know it can take 3-6 months, but what is the average testing window for most hiv infected people?

Get a PCR: You're really worried, and perhaps you should pay extra for a pcr / nucleic acid screen; this should be positive by 21 days.

The window period of the new hiv exposure won't make the recent hiv test result negative if you are already being infected long time ago right?
Hello doctor A decorator came to my house not long ago to fix a window and he was cut, and I was cut by broken glass on the floor about five minutes later.My wound was only a millimeter in size, and it was bleeding.If the worker has HIV, I infected?
Naat HIV test has the shortest window period of only about 2 weeks. Does this length apply even to those who take longer than average to seroconvert?
Why are there variations in the HIV testing window? Some say 3 months and others say 6 months. The CDC says 13-42 days. I was tested with 4th generation test at 3 months. Can I rest assured or should I test again in 3 months?
