What is the window period for the hiv rapid test, especially for hiv2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The window period for the HIV rapid test is the time between when a person gets infected with HIV and when the test can accurately detect the virus. During this time, a person may have HIV but still test negative on an HIV test. The length of the window period depends on the type of test being used and can vary from a few days to several weeks.
