Did I just contract HIV?
Becky Kuhn, M.D., HIV/AIDS specialist, discusses the symptoms of primary HIV
infection that arise in some people during the first few months of HIV infection.
Testing is easy, affordable, and reliable (in the majority of cases). The most common test is done through drawing a blood sample. There are also tests that use oral fluids (not saliva) and urine. There are even tests you can take at home. If you do not have a regular physician who can provide testing, contact your local Health Department.
If you have used an at-home test kit and the results are positive for the infection, you will be provided referrals for a follow-up test. Do not avoid this follow-up. If you are concerned, make an appointment with your health care provider.
