no LOL in HIV

The window period is he time it takes for the body to produce antibodies after someone has been infected wih the virus. In many cases this period can take btween 2 to 12 weeks, but there has also been cases where it can take up to 6 months. During this period you may be infected with HIV but your result can still be negative. It may take 3 months after exposure for the test results to be 97% accurate, and 6 months to be absolutely certain. If you feel you have been exposed to HIV, and your test results are negative, be sure to get retested in 3 to 6 months to be sure.
