HIV self-tests provide results within 20 minutes.
Antibody tests can usually detect HIV 23 to 90 days after exposure.
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.
4th generation tests will pick up 99% of infections at six week.
