The length of time a person needs to wait before they take the test depends on the date when they think they were infected. "There is a time frame when a person is infected the body pro duces antibodies at a level that can be detected. The test is 95 percent accurate at three months and 99 percent accurate at six months," she said. Test results are available 10 days to two weeks after testing. "No results are given over the phone and people need to check back with the place they took the test," she said.
