HIV can cause no symptoms—so feeling healthy does not tell you your HIV status. Learn who should get tested, how HIV testing window periods work, and why PEP requires urgent action after a possible exposure. This quick Rehealthify guide explains clinic testing and home self-testing, why testing too early may require another test, and why a positive screening result needs confirmation. You’ll also learn about the testing windows shown in the video: 18–45 days for a laboratory antigen/antibody test and 23–90 days for antibody tests. Possible HIV exposure within the past 72 hours? Seek urgent medical care and ask about PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). The sooner it starts, the better—don’t wait for symptoms.
