they say that ars can start anywhere from 1-3 weeks post exposure. they also say a 6 week test is extremely reasurring considering a lot of people test possitve for anit bodies 4 weeks post exposure. personally my doctor told me that a negative 6-8 week test is conclusive for a healthy person...i dont buy it really
