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.
Marins. Quick question here, how soon can you get tested for the most common viral / bacterial STDs after a possible exposure? I have seen anything from 10 days to 4 weeks. I'm at about 2.5 weeks now since my exposure and while I need to wait for HIV I would like to get the other STD testing out of the way in the event I did catch something I can get treatment sooner rather than later.
