Sero conversion

hi, if someone is getting symptoms related to seroconversion i.e. sore throat etc. and they take a hiv test is that result going to be positive?

What i mean is if the symptoms are serconversion and you take a test are the results reliable or could it be seroconversion and the test come back negative.

the ONLY way to know if someone truly had ars symptoms is by getting a positive test result.   there are so many other common illnesses that are the same as ars symptoms that you cannot use symptoms to diagnose hiv.  ANXIETY is the leading culprit.

You've answered your own question. Seroconversion is the detectable change in your blood values when your body produces antibodies detectable with ANTIBODY ASSAYS.
