How long does hiv seroconversion take?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies with person: Generally 2 weeks to 3 months, but there have been reports of people having delayed seroconversion. There are many doctors who think most of these people had more recent reexposures rather than delayed responses, but hard to always document clearly.
