abott rapid test at 6week negative

does the ARS happen all at once?
or come one by one?

If ARS is present - and it is present in 50 to 90 percent of all infections - it rarely happens without fever. Normally ARS occurs 2-4 weeks after exposure.

What was your risk?

Well, then you can forget about any symptoms and their timing. You didn't have a risk to begin with.

Through some resources I came to know that most of the people about 90% test postive by week 4, 95% week 8 and 99% by week 12. only 1% people take longer than 12 weeks and these are the people on high dose medications such as people with organ transplant, Cancer patient, People on PEP etc. Their bodies are unable to produce antibodies because the high dose medication they take supresses the Virus and in reaction the immune system is unable to produce antibodies. Even some people with AIDS pass the standard antibody test and shows no antibodies against HIV because they are also on high dose medication to boost their immune system.

By week 7 their are 90 - 95% chances that you be HIV negative.

I was shocked to hear about "Cmon" who test negative at week 8 and positve at 12. though this rarely happens but is really frighteneing.

Even Negative at week 12 I am still Anxious and frightened.

well when kissing I had open sores and split lips and my partner also had split lips because of the cold weather. I would not have took it seriously but the symptoms I told you were really indicating something.
