Is aids test and hiv test are the same and if i got aids will i test positive in hiv plz help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AIDS is late HIV: AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. One may have HIV for many, many years before finally developing AIDS which is late stage HIV infection. The HIV and AIDS test are the same and may not be positive for a few weeks after exposure although other special tests may become positive earlier.
