In a couple of sentences, why is it recommended to go back and retest for HIV after three months? (Site 1)

Well logically, a sexually active person would want to catch any STD as soon as possible, in order to begin treatment and to avoid spreading the disease. three months is often enough to catch it without it being so often that someone would be inconvenienced by it.
