early symptomatic hiv

by worried1810, Feb 12, 2008 09:42AM
If I had early symptomatic HIV, would my antibody test definitely be positive by now??  Also, if I was suffering from ARS, how long after it would it take for my antibody test to show up positive?  Is there ever a period in which both antigens and antibodies are undetectable?  And if so, when and how long does this period last?
