The only way to tell. The only way to tell if a person has HIV is through the HIV Antibody Test, which detects the presence of antibodies produced by the body in response to the HIV virus. It can take up to three months for antibodies to be developed.
Getting Tested. To understand what your test results mean, you first have to understand what kind of test is being used and what a window period is. HIV tests may look for HIV antigen (part of the HIV virus) or for HIV antibodies (produced by the person's body), or may look for both.Newer testing strategies often use a combination antigen/antibody test.fter you get infected, it can take days to a couple of weeks for the HIV virus to replicate itself and spread through the body, and 2-3 or more weeks for your body to produce antibodies to HIV. Depending on what type of HIV test is used, it may not detect HIV until between 2 weeks and several months after infection.
