Last updated on 12 Dec 2024
The fourth-generation HIV test is the recommended test and can detect HIV as early as 14 days following transmission by detecting HIV so that one can start the treatment early.
After someone has been infected with the virus it can take about 2 weeks for HIV antigen to be detectable with current antigen tests, and more than 3 weeks to produce enough HIV antibodies to be detected by antibody tests.
HIV self-tests provide results within 20 minutes.
Antibody tests can usually detect HIV 23 to 90 days after exposure.
