A member asked:
Naat hiv test has the shortest window period of only about 2 weeks. does this length apply even to those who take longer than average to seroconvert?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The two things have nothing to do with each other. Naat looks for the viral nucleic acid, while seroconversion is the appearance of antibodies against the virus.
