Detailed explanation-1: -HIV lives in the blood and in some body fluids. To get HIV, 1 of these fluids from someone with HIV has to get into your blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -An antigen/antibody lab test using blood from a vein can usually detect HIV 18 to 45 days after exposure. A nucleic acid test (NAT) can usually detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure.
Detailed explanation-3: -A positive HIV antibody test means that the body has been exposed to HIV (and the body has produced antibodies in response to this exposure). A person with a positive HIV test will need to have further testing done to confirm this diagnosis.
