A member asked:
From a medical point of view, it it possible for a hiv to start showing symptoms within 2 days post exposure(unprotected) and why ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't happen: Forget "possible". It takes a few weeks for enough of the virus to be on board to initiate the acute illness. Look for some other cause of the person's symptoms.
