Antibodies! Whats the deal?

Can anybody please tell me when exactly during infection the body produces anti-bodies to the HIV virus? If a person is suffering from ARS, is this also the time anitbodies will be produced? Or, is it after?

I'm just curious to know because I think I may have suffered from ARS and have just been tested at 4-weeks. I realise symptoms mean nothing, but if a person has suffered from ARS, should they test postive soon after? I realise each individual is differrent but just wondered if there is some sort of average. Thank you for reading.

In Theory, if you are experiencing ars then you should have detectable antibodies soon after

Man i have had every symptom in the book, just tested negative at 5 1/2 weeks all my symptoms are gone as well they went away like 3 weeks ago therefore telling me i would have the anibodies built up in my system, so i went and got tested and it was negative and i for sure thought i was going to be positive this time around. But the doc said my results were pretty accurate and too come back after 8 weeks and get another one if i still have anxiety. But he said there is 0 to no chance i have HIV and if i did it would be a freak case. Lol

what was your risk?

Yeah what was your risk?

And what were the symptoms as well? Cause I had symptoms three weeks after exposure and I am finding out that my risk is 1/2000 but getting flu symptoms almost exactly three weeks after exposure trips me out.
