What is the first test given to determine the presence of the HIV?

There are a number of tests available to detect the presence of HIV. The most common tests involve looking for the virus indirectly via the prescence of antibodies. This can be done through an oral swab test or a blood test. Many clinics offer rapid tests that can yield results in minutes (ex. Oraquick). If rapid tests yield positive results, it is recommend that another test be performed to confirm those results. In the United States, the Western Blot is the confirmatory test for HIV.

How would one know that the blood he or she is going to get is not contaminated of AIDS if donor is in window period?

The blood banks have the most advanced testing methods available to determine if blood donations are HIV positive or negative. Unlike standard tests used in clinics (ex. Oraquick) which detect antibodies, tests used by blood banks allow for the detection of the genetic material of the virus, which will be present during the "window period." The window period applies when we are waiting for antibodies to form against the virus. This can take up to several weeks to develop in sufficient numbers to detect by standard antibody tests.
