Dr. h handields i just want to mentioned that i have a weak immune system& i was diagnosed with stomach ulcers & h.pylori so could this cause delayed seroconversion. i have had lots of symptoms but neg after 5months post exposure to hiv. she is hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are NO medical conditions that delay seroconversion in people exposed to HIV. That includes "weak immune system", H pylori infection, or any other medical problem or medication you will ever think of. In fact, with the modern HIV tests (i.e. testing for both HIV antigen and antibody -- AgAb or "4th generation" tests" -- testing would be even more reliable in immune deficiency conditions.
