For hiv, do i have to wait exactly 90 days to test myself or a week before 90 days should be fine too for in-home testing ?

Q: for hiv, do i have to wait exactly 90 days to test myself or a week before 90 days should be fine too for in-home testing ?

: I would read the instructions and follow them exactly. But if you test early and are + then see your Dr. I negative wait for at least as long/longer as directions say and test as they suggest. Use protection from now on.
