A member asked:
It's said that, in hiv, earlier symptoms - earlier detectable antibodies... is it true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: there's so much variability on all of these that any conclusions would be unwarranted. Antibodies can take a month to pop up, so can the symptoms of primary HIV they tell me and the two vary. Getting the Viral nucleic acid level AND the antibody at at least 2 wk after last exposure is probably 100% accurate.
