| Response from Mr. Kull
 If your exposure occurred in the United States, and you are at low-risk for infection, testing for HIV-1 three or more months after exposure is sufficient. HIV-1 tests will detect HIV-2 infections about 70% of the time. HIV-1 tests are also fine tuned to detect infections with strains of HIV in the U.S. See Rare strains into perspective. RMK | ||||||||
