Most people develop detectable HIV antibodies within three months of infection, the average being 20 days. In rare cases, it can take 6-12 months. For this reason, the CDC recommends testing six months after the last possible exposure, i.e, unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex, or sharing needles. You can be tested at your doctorâs office, local health department, hospital, and sites specifically set up to provide HIV testing.
HIV testing and diagnosis can be right in your doctor's office, with a blood test for antibodies. It can take several weeks to three months after exposure for the antibodies to show up on a test. All test results are confidential and your doctor will discuss the results and any necessary treatment with you.
