acute co-infection viral levels May 5, 2002 Dear Dr. Rodriguez-Torres, During acute simultaneous HIV/Hep co-infection (prior to antibody formation), at what point would you expect detectable HIV or Hep viremia? Is viremia detectable during acute co-infection for long periods prior to antibody formation in delayed seroconversion, or would viremia only present immediately prior to the delayed seroconversion? Thanks. |

 Tests for viremia for HCV,and HIV are more and more specific now,and can detect very low levels of virus.You can have a positive test after infection ,in as little as days,without doubt, in weeks after infection.Seroconversion will take months. | ||||||||
