PhD SEXUAL MEDICINE, DGO, MBBS

Sexologist•Ahmedabad
Hello lybrate-user
hiv is a virus infection and person can not notice any symptoms for long time and can remain as a carrier. Blood test is the best way to rule out hiv. A pathology laboratory can do blood test. Advisable to go for test atleast 6 to 12 weeks after sexual relationship and always use condom to prevent.
