concerning window period and early symtoms Mar 23, 2001 Hello professor: I wanna know that are most poeple going have some Acute HIV Infection Symtom during the early seroconversions. Another question is that New York State Search Assocaition has published an artical(http://www.nysna.org/protected/npalerts/npalert3.htm) said that "Most people infected with HIV will develop enough antibodies to be detected by our current HIV antibody tests four weeks after the exposure" So if a person who have no Symtons of Acute Infection and who has been tested negative at more than 5 weeks after risky beheavior , it is unlikly the he got infected? Thank you very much!! |

 Most people have symptoms. Some will not. I think 5 weeks is not enough time for antibody testing to rule out infection. | ||
