There are three types of tests used to diagnose HIV infection: antibody tests, antigen/antibody tests, and nucleic acid tests (NATs).
A NAT (nucleic acid test) can detect HIV sooner than other types of tests.
A rapid antigen/antibody test done with blood from a finger stick can usually detect HIV 18 to 90 days after exposure
