With the testing they do these days it will usually pick up a positive result within 3 months. But some people might not have a positive result untill 6 months later. This is rare but happens. I would still follow up at the 6 month mark to be sure.

What was your exposure if it might ask?

I got some number but it really depends on what screening test they did? Do you happen to know if they did it by PCR or Elisa. I bet they did the Elisa which is a cheaper test. The PCR is more accurate and detects quicker though.
