HIV 3rd Generation Tests

Rapid tests are available as a rapid fingerprick test as well as a lab test. Each are equally accurate when used at the right time.

These type of tests only look for the HIV antibody (which is your immune response to the virus) which peaks and maintains at 3 months or more from exposure. They will stay with you lifelong.

This means the tests are only accurate from 3 months from exposure but are good as general screening tools. These are the type of tests the government will use for work pass/PR screening.
