A member asked:
Do hiv antibodies ever disappear once infected, even if its been 12-17 yrs since exposure. would they still be detectable even then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply wrong. If I'm not mistaken, you've asked before and I invite my colleagues to reassure you again.
