Can hiv be dormant for 8 weeks after unprotected exposure and not detectable in roche cobas pcr rna test at 8 wks, then becomes active at 9 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is not necessarily dormant but has not generated enough antibodies to be detected. The HiV window can be as long as 6 months. See infectious disease with active load of HIV or AAHIVM certified doctor for immediate evaluation and management
