The correct answer is: **It can take three months for antibodies to the virus to show up in an infected person’s blood.**
This is because the body typically takes time to produce antibodies after an HIV infection, and testing too soon may result in a false negative. After exposure, it is recommended to have follow-up tests at intervals (such as three months) to ensure accurate results.
