Services - for the Primary Care Physician. Every patient that has an upper level diagnosis is notified of the Nurse Navigator option - completely free of charge. This added support ensures that each patient understands the sequence of events in the screening/diagnostic process. Any barriers to testing and treatment completion are identified.
1 2-8 weeks (up to 2 months) after infection, most people will have enough antibodies to test positive. 2  12 weeks (3 months) after infection, about 97% of people will have enough antibodies to test positive.he window period can be from 9 days to 3-6 months, depending on the person's body and on the HIV-test that's used. During that time, you can test HIV negative even though you're HIV infected. You can still catch HIV from someone who is in the window period.
These tests can detect HIV up to 20 days earlier than standard tests. They check for HIV antigen, a part of the virus that shows up 2-4 weeks after infection. These tests can also detect HIV antibodies. A positive result for the antigen allows treatment to begin earlier and the patient to avoid infecting others.
