The generally accepted time frame in the medical profession is 3 - 6 months. If you believe that you may be at risk, it is recommended you get tested immediately. If the test comes back negative, it is suggested that you get tested every 6 months thereafter for a period of two years. Obviously this is not fool proof. As stated previously, the virus has been shown to lie dormant in some individuals for extended periods of time. The bottom line ... if you are sexually active (regardless of the number of partners) it is recommended that you get tested every six months.

If you think you have been exposed immediately go to a hospital or emergency room within 72 hours and ask for treatment. If treated early on you have a much better chance of not contracting HIV, don't wait until it's too late and you have HIV. They (hospital) have to provide treatment if you think you've been infected.

Your possibilities of catching any venereal disease is amazingly severe once you've unprotected sex, truly, with prostitutes who do not insist a condom be used. If I were you, i'd get examined a minimum of for a year. HIV would not tutor interior the blood flow on the instantaneous. frequently it takes about six months to a year previously it happen in a blood try from the time you've been uncovered to the disease. note of suggestion, prepare chance-free sex.

The HIV virus can remain dormant in your body up to six years. I don't think it takes that long for most people.
