<s>[INST] How long after a possible exposure should I be tested for HIV? [/INST] It takes the human body three to six months to “seroconvert,” or recognize the HIV virus in such a way that it would appear positive in a blood test. The amount of time between transmission and seroconversion is called the “window period.” For the most accurate results, it is best to wait until the three-to-six month window period has passed to get tested.
