ars seroconversion

ok so they say that antibodies will reach a detectable level 2 weeks after the onset of ars. most educated people say that ars happens from week 2-6 after contact with a hiv + person. and they say that  a 90 day test is conclusive. my question is that if it takes some people 90 days to seroconvert then why cant ars happen at 10 weeks? because after 10 weeks there is still enough time for antibodies to form until 90 days?

The answer you are looking for can ot be found here. We give scientific info and science and research says that 2-4 weeks is when ARS happens.

Also do not rag on someone for trying to help. Canermy does a good job on this forum.

when ars occurs during lets say 3-4 weeks, the body produces antibodies to fight against it. so at that time the antibodies would be so less that they cannot be detected. As the days go by, more and more antibodies are produced untill they reach a detectable point.
