It may take up to 6 months after exposure to the HIV virus before an HIV antibody test can test positive,although most infected people will test positive within 3 months.A negative test,therefore,is not a reliable indicator of infection status if exposure is very recent.It is likely that the results will be negative,not positive; however,it is most important to note that these are not reliable so soon after potential exposure.Thus,it would be important to recommend repeat testing in 3 to 6 months.The incubation period or the time interval between invasion by an infectious agent and the first appearance of signs and symptoms of the disease may be between 10 and 15 years for AIDS.
