How long does seroconversion take?

Answer 1

All but less than 1% of those who are going to seroconvert will do so within three months (seroconversion is the development of detectable antibodies to HIV in the blood as a result of infection.) It's extremely rare for seroconversion to take more than six months to develop detectable antibodies.

No diagnostic test will ever be 100% reliable, but if you test negative at the appropriate time (i.e., 13 weeks after possible exposure to the virus), you can consider that to be a dependable confirmation that you are HIV negative.

Answer 2

The length of the seroconversion period depends on the type of infection. For example, with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the seroconversion is usually between 1 and 3 months, although it can be as short as 2 weeks or as long as 6 months. During the seroconversion period, an infected person can transmit the disease or condition even if he or she does not have signs of the infection.

Answer 3

The CDC reports that most people will have detectable antibodies within 4 weeks. If you have has symptoms of ARS then you want to be tested after they end because after ARS you have seroconverted. See a specialist but if you want to know now try to find a doctor that will do a viral load on you this test test specifically for the virus and not its antibodies.
