Everyone who gets HIV produces antibodies. Anything you have seen on the Internet about "delayed seroconversion" or failure to make antibodies is wrong. The timeline of antibody you list is reasonable. EWH
One final follow up - when do most healthy people produce antibodies that are detectable from the standard HIV antibody tests (I had "Panel 083824")? There seems to be some conflicting data out there online. I have seen figures like 50% at 2 weeks, 75% at 3, 90%+ at 4. Do these figures seem reasonable in your experiences?
Thanks again for providing your excellent service.

Thanks Dr. Hook. Just curious, where does the 1 in 10,000 figure for American women come from.
Welcome to our Forum. Your risk for any STD from this encounter is low. Most American women do not have STIs and of those who do, problems such as chlamydia or gonorrhea are most common. The testing you've already had rules these out.
Your risk for HIV from this encounter is tiny. Fewer than1in 10,000 American women have HIV and the risk for your exposure even if she did is, almost, 1%. Further, as you point out, a test more than two weeks after exposure would have detected over half of recent infections.
You certainly do not need another $175 test panel. Your risk is tiny. If you wish to test further, go to your local health department where testing is likely to be free. Personally, having already tested as you did, I would not test further but, this of course is up to you. EWH
