A member asked:

Is there really anything that can delay seroconversion of hiv and other stds? when would a result be conclusive and not require more testing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: A nucleic acid test for HIV would be conclusive, if negative at 10-12 weeks after exposure. Fourth generation tests, if negative by 10-12 weeks are also nearly as good. Antibody tests may take 6-12 months to be conclusive.
