According to this web site delayed seroconversion was deemed possible.The highest recorded being 42 months even under modern tests.NAAT at the right time has been proved to be the gold standard.Some say this is as rare as being hit by two bolts of lightning at the same time , but the handfull of affected individuals never thought it would happen to them.Symptoms might not be as useless as they seem.

The public communication says 3 month antibody test is conclusive but according to virologists this is not such a simple matter.Guys please be carefull if you have doubt full symptoms a NAAT test at the right time will end the debate.

Yes, she would have tested positive with 4th generation testing.

If the woman was tested with a combo she would have at least been antigen positive right?

This is NOT a case of delayed seroconversion. The patient never tested positive on an ELISA and it clearly mentions seroreversion as a possibility. Seroreversion is extremely rare and only occurs in patients who have been infected with HIV for several years and have developed AIDS.

Only if your a chemotherapy patient,a transplant patient on meds or a chronic iv drug user,if not, delayed seroconversion won,t happen.
