ARS and Seroconversion

Is there a relationship between the ARS timeline and Seroconversion timeline?  Does longer ARS equate to longer (slower) Seroconversion time?  I tested negative at 7 weeks post exposure, but symptoms are still lingering.

ARS if one does have them come 2-4 week post exposure and last 1-2 weeks. Seroconversion can happen 4 weeks to 3 months post exposure. In very rare cases can it take longer.

There is no worst case get out and be more productive and I bet you those symptoms will ease off and will be long forgotten...

Symptoms never last this long, your symptoms are not HIV related.

I hear you.  It is just that I have never had an illness last for 2 months.  And I have never had swollen lymph nodes in armpits and groin.

Thanks

A 7 week test is almost a done deal.. Follow up with your 3 month conclusive which will be negative also... ARS symptoms happen 7 to 10 days after exposed to HIV but most do not have symptoms..Symptoms are never a valid indicator for HIV.. And remember we are getting into the cold and flu season and we all get sick at times I am sick now that dosent mean its HIV.... Relax and stop reading into things so much.. Dont believe the Hype !!
