A member asked:
Is 8 weeks hiv test enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Current recommendations include testing for antibodies at three and six months as well for the rare individual who does not immediately develop measurable antibody titers. If you wish to pay for it you can be tested negative (or positive) immediately by checking for HIV rna.
