A member asked:
How long does it take to be able to verify if you have hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Up to 6 weeks: The blood test usually takes a day or two to get results. The standard blood tests usually detect infection within 2-3 weeks of catching it, but sometimes up to 6 weeks. Discuss with your doctor if you're at risk; or ask for consultation with an infectious diseases or HIV/AIDS expert.
