To be sure get HIV nucleic acid test at 6 months after exposure. Wish you good health!

Hi Dr. would a 4th gen Hiv test (CLIA) be positive at D30 for someone infected with HIV and co-infected with CMV/HCV? Since seroconversion is delayed, would P24 antigen be detected at Day 30 post exposure? Thanks?

If someone had an acute HIV infection, would Re-exposure to the same viral strain slow their seroconversion/production of IGM/IGG antibodies? Or delay detectable P24 in the blood? Could CMV/HIV co-infection also cause delay in antibody production?
