A member asked:

Are hiv rapid test reliable? there is debate on the sensitivity of the test. i had a neg. rapid hiv test 18wks after exposure, should i stop worrying?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Repeat testing: It can take 3 - 6 months for the HIV antibody test to become positive if people have been exposed. We usually repeat at 6 months to make sure. It is very important to use condoms with all sex to avoid being exposed or exposing others.
