Living with HIV and AIDS

Question 1 • *KCPS Personal and Family Living (REVISED)

Why should a person that takes an HIV test today also take one in 3 months?

Answer
A
so treatment can be more targeted and more effective
B
because antibodies may not be present until that point
C
to confirm the results from the first test
D
to see if any new sexual partners may have the disease

Explanation

After someone is exposed to HIV, the body may take time to produce detectable antibodies. An HIV test taken today could therefore be negative even if infection occurred recently. Testing again after 3 months helps detect antibodies that were not present during the first test, so choice B is correct.
