A member asked:
Hello. i wanted to know if incubation period for hiv varies with mode of transmission (anal, vaginal, or oral)? if so, what are guidelines as to testing? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The mode of transmission has no effect on incubation period for testing. A standard AgAb (4th generation) blood test detects 98% of infections by 4 weeks and 100% at 6 weeks.
