When should I get an HIV test?
Every HIV test has a window period. This is the time between a possible exposure and when a particular test can reliably detect HIV. The appropriate test and timing differ from person to person.
- Nucleic acid tests can detect HIV earlier than other test types.
- Laboratory antigen/antibody tests are commonly used for diagnosis and have a different detection window from rapid or antibody-only tests.
- A negative result during a window period may need follow-up testing. A clinician can advise on timing for your circumstances.
