In most cases, an HIV test after 91 days is considered conclusive. The standard window period for most commonly used HIV tests is 3 months (90 days). This means it typically takes up to 3 months for your body to produce detectable levels of antibodies or viral RNA if you have HIV. However, several factors can influence this:
- Type of test: Different HIV tests have different window periods. Rapid tests generally have a shorter window period than antibody tests.
- Individual factors: Some people may develop detectable levels of HIV earlier or later than 3 months.
While a negative test at 91 days is highly likely to be accurate, it's crucial to:
- Consult a healthcare professional to discuss your specific situation and interpret your test results accurately. They can also discuss additional testing options depending on your individual risk factors.
- Consider getting tested again after 3 months from your last potential exposure for maximum peace of mind.
- Seek confidential testing and counseling services from Planned Parenthood, your local health department, or other reputable organizations. They can provide accurate information, testing, and support.
