how long do i have to wait to have a hiv test after sex
The sooner you address the possibility of being infected, the better for you and your future sexual partners. If you test negative on an antibody test taken 3 months or longer after your last possible risk of possible exposure to HIV, you can feel safe in assuming that you do not have the virus. If for some reason you feel anxiety about relying on the 3-month result, you could opt to have another test taken again at 6 months. For this reason, we recommend that people who are having sex get tested routinely every 3 months.
