Frequently Asked Questions

How long after a recent exposure to HIV, should I get tested?

Back to all FAQs

Answer

Caracole recommends that you wait at least 14 days after your exposure to get a baseline test. However, it can take three months for HIV antibodies to develop in your system. If your exposure has been less than 72 hours, you can also go to an emergency room to take PEP medication.
