A member asked:
Can you still have sex and still be tested for hiv virus ? or do you have to wait a point in time to not have sex ? and then get tested for hiv virus
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV Testing: You can be tested for HIV at any time, whether you are currently sexually active or not. The standard HIV antibody test can be relied upon as long as any exposure was three to six months ago. If the exposure may be closer to now, as long as it is fourteen to 21 days ago, there is the HIV pcr dna test that can be relied on as well. If you have any concerns please get tested.
