seroconversion Sep 2, 2008 Dr. Bob, Let's say someone is infected by relatively small/weak amount of the virus. Would these factors cause seroconversion to take longer than 3-6 months? I put myself at a rather low-risk encounter where a small amount of blood may have entered my body. Thanks. |

 Hi, Nope! HIV doesn't work that way. Even a miniscule amount of virus, if taken up by the body, can cause a full-blown infection. HIV can reproduce itself billions of times per day when activated. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
