Hi, thanks for writing in with your concern. Unfortunately we do not know what kind of HIV testing is available in Morocco. This site is based in British Columbia, Canada. To read more about HIV and HIV testing at our clinics, please click here https://smartsexresource.com/topics/hiv-and-aids  A rapid HIV test  is an antibody test and at 28 days has approximately an 87% chance of detecting HIV antibodies if HIV was transmitted to you. An antibody test is considered to cover the window period completely at 12 weeks post test. Testing again at 12 weeks or at 3 months is recommended for syphilis as well as its window period is 10 – 90 days. Let us know if this does not answer your question or if you have any more questions or concerns.
