Test for hiv
Yesterday i had activity and i think i might get hiv. Please suggest when to get tested for hiv and also I've attached an image so the test in the image, is it sufficient?
Hello you can get it tested with above test method.
There is something called window period for HIV it means time taken by infection to be positive in the blood.so you need to repeat the test after 3 months.(3rd generation test)
After 4 weeks (4th generation test)
So if both the reports are negative then you are safe
