Answers:
By 60 days post-exposure, over 95% of people who actually are HIV+ would test HIV positive!.

By 90 days (12 weeks) over 99!.5% of people will have tested positive!. A negative test at this stage is considered definitive unless you fall into certain categories (see below)

A fraction of a percent of people may take up to 6 months if they have a pre-existing immune condition (cancer chemo, organ transplant immunosuppressive drugs, etc)!. Because these people's immune systems are weakened already it can take longer to make the antibodies to the virus that the tests look for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Statistics
HIV positive and HIV negative patients were compared by Student's t test and the |gx2 test for continuous and discrete variables respectively!. A probability value of less than 0!.05 was considered significant!. Associations between HIV status and outcome variables were adjusted for differences in age and analysed by logistic regression!. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to compute the survival distribution function estimates within the HIV positive and HIV negative groups (non-survivors) and the equality of the distributions tested by the Wilcoxon rank sum test!. Age was added as a covariate!.


Results

No patient had AIDS!. The rest of the data therefore refer to HIV positive and HIV negative patients only!. Of the 402 patients admitted to the unit during the six months, 52 (13%) tested positive for HIV!. Though the male to female distribution in the two groups was similar, they differed significantly in age (P<0!.002; table 1)!.
