6 weeks is a good indicator, 12/13 weeks conclusive.

Thanks. from reading through the ask a doctor forum, Dr. HH has said on numerous occasions that 4-6 weeks is almost conclusive if one tests negative during that period......do people agree with this? i have had a virus for the past week(7 weeks after exposure), but i have read that HIV symptoms usually develop after 1.5-2 weeks.........any opinions would be very welcome
