I had a bad sore throat (i.e. trouble swallowing most food) between mar 3 and mar 12. could this be indicative of hiv seroconversion?

HIV DNA by PCR: When hospital workers are stuck with needles contaminated by HIV positive patients, they get a blood test called HIV dna by pcr which can tell if you have been infected within the last week. Antibody tests take up to 6 months to turn positive after HIV exposure. The HIV dna by pcr test is available at stdtestexpress.Com.
