The tests most commonly used to detect HIV do not test for the virus itself. These types of tests detect antibodies the body produces in response to HIV infection. The body does not immediately start producing antibodies in enough concentration for the test to detect them. Depending on the test, it can take up to 6 months after exposure for someone to test positive. The amount of time required for accurate results varies depending on the test.
