how long does the human body takes to develope anti-bodies ? Is 7- 8 months long enough? And i've been experiencing a sore throat and mild cough and stuffy nose and headaces? Is it a symptom of hiv? Pls message me
You are really confused. It can take 10 years or longer for someone to progress to AIDS after HIV infection, NOT 10 years to test positive, and the window period is THREE months, not six, as you were already advised.
Now move on.

I love you lizzielou you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The absolute best human being i've ever got advice from! Love you pls keep up the good work, it really means alot to person like me anyways!.
I've gotten tested 3 times since my sexual encounter 8 months ago. So i was just wondering why i got lucky and tested negative all three times? I was thinking maybe because the guy doesn't after all have hiv or aids? That still remains a mystery, because everytime i ask him he tell me no! So i was wondering how long did i have to wait to get a conclusive hiv test result? Teak helped me, im thankful for his thoughts and knowledge. He is a incredible man who i respect and want to become more like him in the future. i belive with his strength and courage that i would be able to fly if i wanted too!
And Bratesha, never try to assess whether or not you have HIV based on your symptoms. It simply cannot be done. But do go get tested if you have had unprotected vaginal/anal sex with somebody of unknown or positive status.
