Whats the difference...?

Can hiv hit your immune system so hard that you can't develop anti-bodies as readily as in a situation such as acute hiv infection, what is the difference in rates of testing positive, there must be some test variables either way no? What is the difference between the acute vs a regular infection, including time lines to testing positive for hiv?

If you've had a 3 month negative why are you still here. You're letting fear destroy you and the silliest things is if you've tested negative at 3 months it's a fear of something you don't have.

Talk about getting lost, Chap, you might want to follow the same advice. Oh, sorry, you are "certain" that somehow you have HIV, so, well, you belong here.

Hate to tell you this, but: sorry, guy, you don't belong here anymore than savedbygod.

Okay, but do the same rules apply regarding testing? Will an acute show later than an asymptomatic patient?

They are different, not everyone person infected with undergoes an acute infection. Those who experience the acute version experience strong pronounced symptoms they are able to discern were as those who do not, can be hiv positive without even one symptom or any feeling of being ill what so ever...
