Question for TEAK

What makes you say you cannot have primary HIV infection after one week following exposure? in reading several sites and even posting on this forum, the Body, and DR H's forum I have seen this timeframe jump all around from a few day to not ealier the 10 day. Even Dr H says from 7-10 days.

Have you ever seen any hard facts that these symptoms cannot start before 7 days?

Thanks for all you do!
