IF you HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE AND WANT TO GET CHECKED FOR HIV, WOULD IT SHOW UP RITE AWAY ON THAT TEST IF IT IS IN YOUR BODY?

Dear shamane,
An HIV test will not detect the presence of the HIV virus immediately after exposure. Statistics show that 96% (perhaps higher) of all infected individuals will test positive within 2 to 12 weeks. In some cases, this may take up to six months.
Sue...good luck
