9-10 people would have detected HIV in a test after 2 months?

is this true, i know i should get tested at 6 months, but should i believe this. I was tested at a state health clinic

9 out of 10

In the usual test for HIV, its not the virus itself that is detected but the antibody you produce against it. How soon you produce that antibody in detectable concentrations varies from person to person.

So yes you should get retested again at 6 months, in case this was a 'false negative'.
