A positive HIV Rapid test means you may be infected with HIV. If the Rapid test is positive, a confirmatory test will be done to verify the presence of HIV. Occasionally a positive Rapid test is inaccurate due to other conditions so the confirmatory test is done to verify the presence of the HIV virus. Confirmatory tests can take up to two weeks to complete. An appointment will be made with the client to return for the test result.
