POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there. 

Thank you for your email. Thank you for reading the blog.

The rule of thumb is get tested at 3 months and get tested again at 6 months post exposure. Usually we encourage early testing as HIV antibodies can also be detected even earlier that 3 months. However, if the result turns out negative, just repeat the test again at 6 months to give ample time for antibodies to be formed just in case there was indeed transmission of the virus.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
