Relation between antigen P24 and antibody
Hallo
I have just curious question. P24 antigen can pick up infection before antobodies are created, but within few weeks P24 antigen goes away. The question is:
Antigen stays in the body until antibodies are produced OR is it possible the have a gap? I mean antigen is already gone but antibodies are not present yet.
I hope my question is understandable
