HIV test is only answer to confirm HIV is there or not Antibody tests ("Rapid" tests) ? give a positive result based on antibodies to HIV, not the virus itself. It takes your body up to 3 months to produce these antibodies at levels that can be detected by this test. 4-6 weeks (up to 3 months) after infection, most people will have enough antibodies to test positive 12 weeks (3 months) after infection, about 98% of people will have enough antibodies to test positive. RNA tests ? show a positive result based on the presence of the virus. These tests are more expensive than anitbody tests, so are not offered in as many places. 9-14 days after infection, there will be enough viral material for a positive result. PCR tests (Polymerase chain reaction tests) ? also test for the actual virus. This type of test is often used for testing the viral load of HIV-positive people, as well as testing babies born to HIV-positive mothers.
