Will HIV show up immediately on a test?

IF U HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE AND WANT TO GET CHECKED FOR HIV, WOULD IT SHOW UP RITE AWAY ON THAT TEST IF IT IS IN YOUR BODY?

Answer #1

Dear shamane, An HIV test will not detect the presence of the HIV virus immediately after exposure. Statistics show that 96% (perhaps higher) of all infected individuals will test positive within 2 to 12 weeks. In some cases, this may take up to six months. Sue…good luck
