Who should get an HIV test?

Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should take an HIV test at least once in their lives. Some people are more likely to get HIV and should be tested more regularly. Those who have had sex with an HIV-positive partner, those who inject drugs, sexually active gay men, and those who have unprotected sex are all included. You should get checked every 6-12 months if you have any of these risk factors.

How do they test for HIV?

Antibodies created by your body in reaction to the virus are examined in HIV tests. A blood test or a sample of cells obtained from the inside of the cheek can be used to do this. After that, the sample is transported to a lab, where a technician will look for antibodies.

How long should I wait to get an HIV test?

It can take a long time for your body to build enough antibodies for an HIV test to detect the illness if you become sick. It may take 3-12 weeks for your blood to contain adequate antibodies. Even if you have HIV, you could have a negative test result during this time.

My sister got covid unfortunately while we were traveling to Chicago. We called the closest urgent care at about 12:40 pm, which happened to be Aayu in Wicker Park. They said they could see her before 1 pm. She wasn't in the clinic long to get a test to confirm if she had it, and they expedited the test and emailed her by 3 pm to say she had it. Then they expedited a paxlovid prescription right up the street that she was able to pick up quickly. By 5 pm she was quarantined completely, and she was better already a few days later. Thank you SO MUCH, Aayu, for taking such good care of my sister. I know her long-term health and immediate outcome are both better for having been there. I appreciate you and your efficiency of care so much! I will recommend you to anybody and everybody in that area.
