Question

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I had protected intercourse recently, but I'm still planning to get the HIV 1 and 2 tests done just to be safe. I'm wondering if I could get accurate results in 23 days, or does it usually take longer for a final confirmation? Any suggestions on how this process generally works?
