How long to wait to get tested? Dec 19, 2000 If you are concerned about a un-safe sexual encounter, what is considered to be an acceptable time period to get tested and feel "reasonably" sure you are not infected with HIV. I wouldn't think that being tested the day after the event would be as conclusive as waiting a few months or whatnot? In other words what is a typical time frame that the infection shows up in tests, after infection? |

Response from Dr. Reznik
 The CDC recommendations are to be tested immediately after the event to establish a baseline, and then at 3 and 6 months. DR |
