A member asked:
I recently went to a non-licensed acupuncture place 8 months ago.. tested for hiv.. is this test conclusive, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be accurate: There is a “window period” during which a person who is infected will not yet have a positive HIV test result. This is because it takes a while for the body to develop antibodies to the hiv. An HIV test can show infection in most people within 3 months (average of 25 days to build HIV antibodies). A 3 month negative test may be repeated at the 6 month point to pick up on the rare situations in >.
