How early can this test detect HIV infection? 

Based on studies by Biolytical Laboratories, the third-generation INSTI test is capable of detecting HIV antibodies of the IgM and IgG classes. IgM antibodies are the first antibodies that the body produces after infection with the HIV virus and are detectable within 21-22 days. Depending on how quickly a person's immune system makes HIV antibodies after infection, it can take up to 3 months to get a positive result in some cases. If you think you have been exposed to HIV in the past 3 months and your results are negative, you will need to retest at least 3 months after exposure.
