How soon after exposure could seroconversion occur?
My exposure was Thursday morning. Could I be experiencing seroconversion already, only 5 days later?
My glands on one side of my face hurt and are swollen, no fever, sore ear.
Can anyone advise me? Please?

Typically seroconversion occurs between 2-4 weeks after an exposure. Symptoms are never indicative of infection. Many people on these types of boards come with a host of symptoms, all of which mean nothing in terms of HIV, especially in light of all their negative tests. Stress and anxiety can cause more 'symptoms' than could be listed here.

Here it is straight from the CDC:
Average conversion takes place at 8 weeks
The vast majority converts at 4-6 weeks
97% of people convert by 3 months
3% of people convert by 6 months
Less than 1% of people convert after 6 months

The tests commonly used to detect HIV infection are actually looking for "antibodies produced by an individual’s immune system when they are exposed to HIV. Most people will develop detectable antibodies within two to eight weeks (the average is 25 days). Ninety seven percent will develop antibodies in the first three months following the time of their infection. In very rare cases, it can take up to six months to develop antibodies to HIV."

wrong wrong wrong 2-4 weeks is the symptoms and 2 weeks after symptoms the antibodies will show up on a test that , antibodies form just a few days after infection but they will not show up on the test until 4-6 weeks
