Yes. The window period between exposure and testing positive for HIV is seen as the most infectious timeframe. Just because your body is not yet producing antibodies to the virus does not mean that infection cannot occur. During this time, your body is rapidly producing the HIV virus.

What is the inccubation for HIV?
The term incubation is not generally used in reference to HIV infection. However, there is a period of time when someone can be infected with the virus and test negative. The "window period" refers to the period of time between when someone is infected with HIV until they can test positive. The "window period" is anywhere between 28 and 90 days after infection. The "window period" occurs because the standard HIV tests detect anitbodies that occur as a result of HIV infection. Antibodies are not immediately detectable after infection.
What is the HIV window test?
The window period with respect to HIV testing is the time of infection, until the time it can be detected during testing (which means antibodies are being produced from the body's immune system).
What is the recommended time for hiv aids retest?
Retesting for HIV should be done at the end of the window period for the particular test. You should also get retested if you have a new partner.
Can HIV be detected within a month of being infected?
Yes, it is possible. However, in many cases, the antibodies to the HIV virus do not appear until well past a month. The window period for the HIV can be anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months. Any test done during this window period should be repeated so as to assure accuracy.
Can it be possible that it could come out later if you get checked for hiv and it comes out negative?
The "window period" for most HIV tests is considered to be three months. Most people test positive within two months. If you have a new risk within the months just before testing, you should repeat the test at the end of the window period.
No HIV antibodies and no HIV means same in HIV screening immunology test?
No, your body takes a certain amount of time to produce antibodies to counter act a pathogen. Therefore you can have HIV but not have antibodies. This difference in time is called the 'Window Period' which averages 28 days, but can be as long as 3 months.

It depends! Most people have a window when an Elisa assay will give negative result. The window period is usually 3-12 weeks after infection.

The time between when someone is infected with the virus until the can test positive is called the "window period." This amount of time can vary depending on the sensitivity of the test being performed. The most widely used oral HIV test in the United States (OraQuick Advance) has a window period of up to 90 days.
