Seoconversion delay? are you sure
Hi,.
don't want to worry you and the last thing I would like to do is post wrong information, so unless the doctor responds to my question...please don't confuse this question with fact.
Question: I read that dieseases like syphillis can delay hiv detection. Can something as common as HPV do the same? IF not, how do you know that other dieseases like HPV do not supress hiv or delay antibody testing?
Thank you

Again, this is an HIV related question and doesn't belong here.
Go read through the HIV experts forum and you'll see all kinds of questions about this.
No illness delays seroconversion.

Hi,
Sorry for posting that question here.
Since you answered with confidence, I wanted to ask you how you know that HPV would not delay seroconversion. I mean, how is there scientific data on this kind of thing if they wouldn't know how long a person has had hiv? for example, lets say a person gets diagnosed as HIV+, do they know if that person has had the virus for 3 month, a year, 5 years in order to know if the point of serconversion occurred late. And they would need to find patients who have not serconverted yet asnd who have hpv in order to watch them and see if the antibodies take awhile longer to appear.
Hope the question wasn't to confusing. THANK YOU

The question you are responding to is over 2 years old, and closed, so it bumps it over to this forum.
No, HPV won't delay seroconversion. Syphilis won't either.
Any follow up questions need to be posted in the HIV prevention forum. See above for a link.
