HIV testing periods..........................?

No tests are 'miracles' in quick results. You need to get tested at three months after exposure and 6 months after exposure, preferably making one of those tests a blood test (the last)- the first can be anything recommended, including the 'quick' oraquick test. A negative result at 3 months means it's unlikely you're positive, but tests do malfunction and in some cases people simply don't develop enough antibodies to be detected- which is why you need to get tested again at 6 months.

you first test after 3 three monthes ( the estimated period to have enough antibodies ) :1- if negative result you should repeat after another 3 monthesand if negative also should repeat after anothe 6 monthes2- if positive you should go for PCR which determine the activity and repeat it each 3 monthes or as docter will order

Every three to six months, but keep in mind that HIV can lay dormant for a year or more.
