Q: dear sir, which test would you recommend for early detection of hiv infection and how long after risky intercourse should it be done?

: The fastest and most accurate test is the NAAT ,Nucleic- acid test. This is done 10 -33 days after risky exposure. The antibody- antigen test a few days for results. Safe sex is the best test to avoid HIV.
