| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 With the current generation of antibody tests, I am not aware of antibodies taking 2 years to develop. Although people have been found to be infected with HIV (by PCR and cultureI and not have evidence of antibodies, these were people with advanced AIDS. We don't know whether these people had produced antibody before they came to medical attention. | ||
