HIV testing: With a partner of unknown status, HIV testing should be done at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after exposure. It takes time to develop the antibodies to show up with the average of around 25 days. If there is exposure to a known HIV positive person, then you need an urgent visit to a physician to start post exposure prophylaxis (pep) medications right away.
