ANSWER ASAP PLEASE!!!?!!

Answer 1

I think the correct answer would be B. The best time to be tested for possible HIV infection would be two to three weeks after possible exposure. Although early detection is best, it does not mean that it can be detected directly after exposure. The tests for this infection mostly can detect it after two weeks or more.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D. three months after possible exposure.

Explanation:

The concept behind HIV is the infection and the incubation period. The HIV virus infects a person and takes time before the results of the multiplication are seen. This is generally known as the incubation period. At 12 weeks, or at about 3 months, the body, after infection, will have developed specific antibodies for HIV virus. It is therefore important that the HIV virus be tested after such a period.

Testing in the shortest period can yield fake negative results as the virus has not fully developed.
