Why iv drug abusers sometiome take longer to seroconvert?
Hi,
Just having a general question.I am regularly reading that people who are on chemotherapy, taking anti-rejection drugs following an organ transplant, or are CHRONIC, long term iv drug abusers. I can understand about chemotherapy,anti-rejection drugs,but not regarding iv drug abusers. Can any one tell me why iv drug abusers take longer to seroconvert after the exposure.
taking drugs for a long time may suppress your immune system
this will reduce the ability of the body to create sufficient antibodies to be detected in tests by 3 months..
