Can you find out if have hiv as soon get it?
No, you cannot find out if you have HIV as soon as you get it. The time it takes for HIV to be detectable in the blood is called the window period. During the window period, a person may be infected with HIV but will test negative for the virus. The window period can last anywhere from 10 days to 3 months, but it is typically 2-4 weeks.
Here are some of the risk factors for contracting HIV:
* Unprotected sex with an infected person
* Sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia with an infected person
* Receiving a blood transfusion from an infected person
* Being born to an infected mother
If you have any of these risk factors, it is important to get tested for HIV. If you are diagnosed with HIV, early treatment can help slow the progression of the disease and improve your quality of life.
