How Long Do You Wait to Get Tested for AIDS? Posted: 10-03-07 13:21pm


I need to know how long I should wait to be tested. I was not exposed that I know of but I wrote a thread here about trying to get my girlfriend tested. How long is the amount of time you can wait and it pretty much give you a definate result error free? Thanks!

Are you thinking of taking standard test for HIV infection? This test is greater than 99 percent accurate. Are you considering to make home testing? Do you know that there are rapid tests for HIV that provide accurate results within 5 to 40 minutes? Six months is enough long period to get results correct for HIV testing. Any positive test is confirmed as true or false with performing another test.

I think you should wait 2 weeks before going to get tested.

The proper waiting period for correct and accurate results to an HIV test is 3 months.

you should not be having sex with people you don't know. They could have all kinds of sexually transmittable diseases and condoms are not 100% safe. You are playing with fire.
