The best time to be tested for HIV is at least 2 to 4 weeks after a potential exposure, as this allows for the most accurate results during the acute phase when the virus may be detectable. However, for definitive results, testing should ideally be done after 3 months, as this is when most tests can reliably detect the virus. Regular testing is also recommended for individuals at high risk or those with multiple sexual partners. If you have symptoms or believe you may have been exposed, seek testing sooner.
