What are the initial symptoms of hiv and what is the minimum window in which it can be detected after unprotected encounter with opposite or same sex?

Flu-like: The initial symptoms of HIV may be very nonspecific, such as flu-like symptoms; muscle aches, fatigue, low-grade fever, lymphadenopathy. The minimum window for detecting HIV is about one month, however, seronegative patients who are suspicious of exposure to HIV should be retested after 3-6 months due to possible later seroconversion. Be safe. Practice safe sex, use condoms!

HIV DNA by PCR: When hospital workers are stuck with needles contaminated by HIV positive patients, they get a blood test called HIV dna by pcr which can tell if you have been infected within the last week. Antibody tests take up to 6 months to turn positive after HIV exposure. The HIV dna by pcr test is available at stdtestexpress.Com.
