Yes, in an infected person, it will give a positive result at four weeks in majority of the cases. However, a Negative test result will require a confirmatory repeat test at three months of last exposure. Please revert if you require any further information. Best wishes.

Can be, but best is to do it by 6 weeks. Repeat HIV 1/2 test after 90 days of exposure. Also do VDRL and HEP B test.
