Is hiv antibody test accurate in the incubation period? I took a test after 10 months of the possible exposure, I know that antibody can be tested out after window period, and that is because the amount of virus and antibody are both high in your blood... Once in the incubation period, it is said that the amount of both the virus and antibody will decrease significantly for many years, so, my question is, can a HIV antibody test negative result be trusted during this period...
There is no such thing as a incubation period in either adults or children with HIV. There is a window period were test may not pick up the virus, this is up to 13 weeks. In terms of HIV leading to Aids, this is on average without treatment is 7 to 10 years.
As it is so long ago， i have forgot the details. Now, 13 years passed ，i fell all right now. can i be a hiv+ ？how long will the Incubation period be ? need i have an test ?
Hello! What's the incubation period for symptoms of HIV to appear after possible exposure? Mostly I read it's around 2-4 weeks, can it also begin earlier?
Hello,
Oral sex is a negligible risk for HIV. So in that case, no test is needed. The window period for HIV is 28 days if you go for a duo combo ag/ab test (4th generation).
For the rest of the STDs is a different story. Oral exposes you to Syphilis, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. They all have a window period of three weeks.
this went away, and about a week ago (about 8 weeks after my tonsilitis) a couple of white spots appeared in the same place, i read that this can be a sign of hiv, so i went to get sti tested again and she said id still be in the incubation period. what would be chances i have contracted this virus as im very nervous? this was a one off and the girl said she was clean.
3bouda,
HIV-1 has an incubation period of viral replication of approximately 2-4 weeks with 98.3% or seropositive conversions happening around day 22. HIV-2 has a much longer incubation period, but you said you're from the Middle East and it's extremely unlikely you would have been exposed to HIV-2.
Do you have access to a medical facility that can administer a HIV-1/2 RNA Polymerase immunoassay test? At 40 days, if you were exposed and seroconversion occurred there would 98.
Now I have one ques in mind that, does the virus can be identified with in one month? I am little confused knowing that the incubation period of the virus is 120 days. What is that mean?
I recently met a women who i have been dating a little over a week; we have only engaged in kissing as of yet which began the nite i met her. Our kissing is intense and i recieved a small bite on my lip on the 7th day i knew her, the next day it seemed like a small sore. She informed me that she is HSV-1 positive but believes it is Herpatic Whitlow and she has never had any "cold sores".
I was wondering if you could clarify the 6 weeks and 3 months reasoning behind the blood tests. I thought that the incubation period was 2 - 12 days...

Me again...I have read a lot of different information about the incubation period for genital hsv. Most sites seem to indicate that in most circumstances the incubation period is 3-7 days. I believe one of the doctors on medhelp even stated that roughly 80% of cases occur within that window (3-7). Could someone confirm this information? Is there anywhere I can get detailed data on incubation periods?
