There is no chance to turn positive testing at 3 and 6 months after possible exposure will detect almost all hiv infections. However, there are no guarantees as to when an individual will produce enough antibodies to be detected by an hiv test. Hiv test can detect hiv immediately after infection. Most (approximately 97%), but not all, people will develop detectable antibodies within 3 to 12 weeks (21 to 84 days) of infection. If you have any type of antibody test and have a positive result, you will need to take a follow-up test to confirm your result.
