HIV is never dormant, it begins attacking your immune system as soon as a person is infected. However, the time that it takes to reach the point where symptoms of immunodeficiency appear varies. On average a person with untreated HIV will develop AIDS by about a decade later, but sometimes it's just a couple years, and sometimes it's over a decade. If you're concerned about past HIV exposure, get a test.

it actually can take as little as 30 days for some people....six weeks is the average. Don't worry HIV isn't a death sentence, My grandma has HIV and has had for 40 years, she contracted from my grandpa who had a blood transfusion in Germany. sadly he did pass but my grandmas still going strong, and she doesn't take any medication

it can take six months or more for the virus to build a detectable level in your blood stream, depending upon the state of your health when you contracted the virus.

About 6 months. That's how long it takes to get a measurable viral load.
