Early detection of HIV is beneficial for those who work in high-risk environments. It helps develop a treatment plan that could prevent complications and infections and provide years of healthy living. If left untreated, HIV can cause life-threatening health problems. Early diagnosis also alerts a person to avoid high-risk behaviour that spreads the disease to others.
The average time for antibodies to develop is three to four weeks; this is essential to get a checkup as most HIV tests check for antibody levels.
If you test positive, you should talk to your doctor about it. The test itself means that you are carrying the virus that can cause AIDS, and you can infect others. You should begin an HIV management plan and take precautions to avoid spreading the virus.
