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.

I had been sick for five days by the time I decided to go to urgent care. I made an appointment online, uploaded all the necessary documents and arrived at the appointment for the time I selected. The receptionist was pleasant and offered a seat. Also informed me I could sit in my car if I would be more comfortable. I waited only about 15 minutes beyond my appointment time and was called into the exam room. The medical assistant was friendly and professional and told me what I could expect. She started with vitals and then swabbed me for Covid and flu. She made sure to tell me it would take about 15 minutes to process both. The Physician’s Assistant examined and diagnosed me. He explained the medications he was calling in, in a caring and professional manner. My overall experience was an A+. I will be returning. I just hope no time soon.
