For traditional antibody tests the delay can be 3 - 6 months. Some newer tests have less of a delay, but there's still delay.
I mean, even if it were true that homosexual males were ten times more likely to be HIV positive, why not test him and find out? It's not like we have a surplus of used organs sitting around.
While I don't necessarily agree with this policy, what's worse is that the virus can remain dormant in an infected individual for as much as a decade.
