How accurate are HIV tests?

Modern HIV tests are highly accurate, with sensitivity and specificity rates above 99% when performed within the appropriate window period. Antigen/antibody tests and NATs are more accurate in early detection, while antibody tests are reliable after the window period. False positives and negatives are rare, but confirmatory testing is essential for a definitive diagnosis.
