Testing The test is for antibodies against HIV, not for the virus itself. It can take up to three months for the body to produce antibodies against HIV. A negative test result may mean recent infection. It is possible to infect others during this stage. An individual should be tested three months after possible exposure to guarantee an accurate result.

Timeline Test Date New Test Date Three-month window from first exposure Three-month window from second exposure Second exposure First exposure

Treatment Today, in the US, HIV/AIDS is a chronic disease. Anti-retroviral drugs are used in combination, known as Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). Side effects can be severe, but the risks of not being treated are more severe. Cornell University estimates the monthly cost of treatment as $2,100, with a lifetime cost of treatment of $618,900.
