Hi,

Does any one know what is earliest time for the normal body to starte producing antibodies after the exposure?
and when is the person should  stop thinking about HIV early symptoms ?

my questions because my freinds are are taking HIV antibodies tests after few days from the exposure and some others are suffering from HIV early symptoms after months of thier exposures

1st week no...antibodies are not produced then to be picked up on a test. It would be at least one week after ARS symptoms for them to be picked up on a test and no guarantee then and most people don't have symptoms.

Thanks Vance, but from your experience have ever been recorded a person tested positive within the  1st week of the infection and ARS usually shows on week 2-4 but can this delayed and if for how long. thanks in advance

Test after 3 months for a risk for a conclusive result. Anything sooner is not going to be concluisve

You can never use symptoms as a possible diagnosis.
