Repeated exposures and Delayed seroconversion
Let's say your partner contracted the HIV virus and continues to have sex with you . Would repeated exposures to the virus delay his/her seroconversion? Are would that individual still test positive at the respected time (three months )? If that person has remained hiv negative at the three month mark from the time of their known exposure. Under any cercumstances will that person has a possibility of delayed seroconversion?
Best Answer
The myth of delayed sero-conversion is just that...a myth. Any current HIV antibody test will detect an HIV infection 90 days (3 months) post infection. If, at or beyond 3 months the test result is negative, then it's negative. There is no need to test beyond 3 months after getting a negative result.
