What types of HIV tests are there?

A rapid test gives results in minutes from a drop of blood. A fourth-generation lab test detects the virus earlier. If either is reactive, it is always confirmed with an additional test before a diagnosis is given.

What is the window period?

It is the time between infection and when a test can detect it. If exposure was only a few weeks ago, a negative result may not be final, and the test should be repeated as advised by the professional.

What if exposure was less than 72 hours ago?

Go to the emergency room immediately. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), started within the first 72 hours, greatly reduces the risk of infection.

Who should get tested?

Everyone who is sexually active at least once, and more often with new partners, condomless sex, another sexually transmitted infection or injection drug use. Also during pregnancy. Testing is confidential and usually includes counseling before and after.
