  1. Alafia (Peace) I am not a medical expert but I would say the tests are accurate. Have you made an appointment to see a doctor? I suggest that be your next step. Please stay connected to us and let us know how things turn out. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)

    1. Hi . Just to follow up on what said, as noted on this government Medline page "there are three main types of HIV tests. They are all very accurate," but have different windows for administering the tests: https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/hiv-screening-test/. If you follow the instructions and windows properly the results should be reliable. Best, Richard (Team Member)
