Seroconversion

I read a case of a guy seroconverting after 6 months due to hepathitis c and hiv infection ....
My questions are:
1) can you get other stds and NOT hiv from an encounter an Hiv+ person with other stds ?
2)If yes, will other the stds as well hiv make you seroconvert lets say later than 3 months ?   6 months ?
3) if so , is it because your immune system will have to battle on 2 fronts , namely HIV and STD ?

According to the hepathitis c and hiv infection case,  question 3 was given as an answer.....

This isn't the doctors forum. Vance works the Hepatitis forum and he would have explained it.

The question asked about HIV. I answered it. People ask about things which can cause delayed seroconversion, I do not see why Hepatitis cannot be asked about when the main thing being asked about is HIV.
The doctors will usually say something like "this is the STD forum please ask your question in the HIV forum" or something like that whenever a question is asked in the wrong place. The links go to questions which were asked in the HIV forum(expert) and the doctors did not say to go to another forum.
Yes, this could be taken to the Hepatitis forum, but someone over there could easily say to bring it over here.
If that is not the forum which you believe is suitable then direct me to the correct one because I cannot find it.

With all of the anxious people on this forum. I believe it would be best to not ask such questions.
Please provide a link to the article. Also, the things which cause seroconversion up to six months are posted regularly on the forum.
