How soon after an occupational exposure should health care worker be tested?
It depends on the type of exposure and the standard testing guidelines in use at that time. Workers would be tested "as soon as possible" but within the standard testing guidelines. For example, the test for HIV-AIDS must give time for the virus to establish itself and the body to respond to the virus. So there is no immediate or rapid test. Scientists work to decrease the amount of time between exposure and test, but they can't create such a test if the pathogen needs time to develop and the body needs time to respond.

No. There is an incubation period. That is why you should get tested every 3 months for an entire year after suspected exposure. Really, it would not hurt to get tested immediately after the potential exposure as well in case you contracted it before then.
