In general, antibody tests that use blood can detect HIV slightly sooner after infection than tests done with oral fluid. It can take 3 to 12 weeks (21-84 days) for an HIV-positive personâs body to make enough antibodies for an antibody test to detect HIV infection. This is called the window period.
Best Answer: You can get tested for any STD except HIV/AIDS immediately. The symptoms of HIV may take up to six months to develop, so while you can get tested now, you have to return for further testing at least once a month until you're out of danger.
