Hi, I detected HIV accidentally, when I went to donate some blood. However, there is a special test for detecting HIV, which you can do six months minimum after becoming infected. That time is necessary for body to make enough antibodies to fight this virus, and the HIV test works exactly by detecting those antibodies. However, it takes sometimes only three months for this process. You can do this test in the lab, and your identity will be will be kept secret. If you don’t like this idea, you can by a home test, but if it shows positive results, go check it with your doctor, just in case. I advise you to go to psychologist before you do this test, and before you get the results. It will be easier to confront the results if you have someone to talk to.
