Hello,<\/p>\n
I am very sorry to hear about your recent diagnoisis- do you have any support to help you deal with this?<\/p>\n
HIV infection can take 4 – 12 weeks to show on an HIV test, depending on the type of test used. It is possible, therefore, that you were already infected in September but that this wasn’t picked up on a test in October. You can read more about this, which is called the window period<\/a>, in our guide to HIV testing and transmission<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was diagnosed with HIV about a week ago and when I did my test in October it was negative.
