About Risk

Hii everyone people say on this forum that symptoms of HIV appear within 2-4 weeks is this after unprotected sex.Please answer me most of the forum says about 90% people get symptoms within 2-4 weeks.What is this 2-4 weeks is it counted after the day you have unproted sex with someone.
thanx

if you will go to your profile, and read your previous posts and the answers that were given...you will see that all your questions have already been answered.

you've been assessed as having had a risk.  testing is the only way to know your status.  there's not much more we can do for you on this forum.

90% is not true at all and as for the rest of your questions go back and reread some of your replies that you have given that have already answered your questions.

Let me know when you can show any forum saying 90% and let me know when a forum says HIV has specific symptoms that are reliable in diagnosing HIV.

NO...you start counting 4 days, 22 hours and 14 minutes after having unprotected sex.

OF COURSE IT IS AFTER THE INCIDENT ! ! !  ISNT THAT WHEN ONE WOULD BECOME INFECTED?

2-4 WEEKS AFTER INFECTION...LASTS 1-2 WEEKS.
