\nFor HIV we use the p24 Combo HIV rapid test, which can detect SOME new HIV cases starting from 15 days after infection. However, as it cannot detect all new HIV infections within this period, we suggest people can also get tested 90 days after suspected infection may have happened to be sure of one’s HIV status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
