May not get: Seroconversion usually occurs starts 1-3 weeks after infection, with average time being around 10 days. Although 4 in 5 people (80%) get symptoms, 1 in 5 (20%) do not.

Would REMICADE affect my negative HIV 4th gen combo test at 9 weeks after exposure? I heard it's immunosuppressive drug. I tested RNA at 9.7 weeks. I'm so worried about seroconversion and even hiv-2(since p24 is not detectable in hiv2 infection).

Hi Dr. CMV/HCV co-infection with HIV delays seroconversion. How common is this? Would 4th Gen HIV test detect P24 antigen in this case, at Day 30 post exposure even if there is a delayed antibody response? Thanks?
