How long does it take to detect HIV? HIV testing time

The spread rate of AIDS seems to be higher in today's society. After all, modern society is more open about sex, and young men and women prefer to have relationships with different people. As a result, AIDS has begun to spread wildly. So how long does it take to detect AIDS after infection?

Can be detected through blood in 4-8 weeks

Our country's HIV antibody testing has entered a new stage. Generally, HIV antibodies can be detected through blood 4-8 weeks after infection, which can be seen when HIV infection enters the AIDS stage.

10-year incubation period can be distinguished by naked eyes

After a latent period of about 10 years, the patient enters the AIDS stage, during which various opportunistic infections and malignant tumors will appear. At that time, there will be very obvious symptoms that can be seen with the naked eye. However, the patient is already very close to death at this time. There is no very effective treatment for the AIDS stage, and generally the patient will die within a year due to the continuous deterioration of various infections and malignant tumors.

Get HIV antibody test promptly

Therefore, it is recommended to do HIV antibody testing 6 weeks or 3 months after high-risk behavior. Only when HIV infection is discovered during the latent period of HIV infection can it be treated and the progression of the disease controlled. Otherwise, once an AIDS patient develops, it will be difficult to recover.
