Early diagnosis of HIV infection improves treatment outcomes and reduces the risk of spreading the infection to others. Have an HIV test if you think you may have been at risk. Seek medical advice immediately if you suspect you could have HIV. The earlier you diagnose it, the earlier you can start treatment and avoid serious illness.
Unprotected sex with partners believed to be of the same HIV status is unsafe.
Testing for HIV is important because the sooner you discover an infection, the sooner you can receive treatment. Current treatments for HIV strengthen your immune system to fight off the virus effectively. Early treatment prevents you from developing AIDS.

Doctors recommend an HIV test during pregnancy, preferably in the first trimester, because HIV can pass from mother or gestational parent to the fetus. HIV can also transfer through breast (chest) milk. Starting treatment early in pregnancy prevents transmitting the virus to your newborn.
If you are pregnant and considered high risk for HIV, your healthcare provider will retest you at least two to three times during pregnancy.
An HIV test detects evidence of HIV in your blood or oral fluid. This evidence can include the virus itself, HIV antigens and antibodies, or only antibodies.
HIV tests cannot detect HIV immediately after exposure. Your body needs time to make antibodies in response to the virus. The window period is the time gap between exposure and when a test can detect the virus. Plan to get tested after this window period.
You don’t need to do anything to prepare for blood tests. For at-home oral fluid tests, avoid eating or drinking 30 minutes before testing. Follow the kit instructions carefully.
Your experience depends on which test you take and where you take it.
Rapid tests check your blood or oral fluid for HIV antibodies. Some settings offer a rapid HIV antigen/antibody test. A healthcare provider collects blood via a vein or finger prick, depending on the test type. For oral fluid samples, you provide a mouth swab.
Some rapid tests provide results in as little as five minutes. Keep in mind that these results are preliminary. If your result is positive, follow up with your healthcare provider for a confirmatory test to determine your HIV status.
