In this essay, there are the following paragraph:
"Laboratory assessment of case 1 indicated a change in his HIV-1 antibody reactivity around the time of presentation. Three previous determinations—HIV-1 antibody-, nucleic acid-, and antigen-based assays within nine months before presentation—were all negative. Antibody/antigen and WB tests became partially reactive, and plasma HIV-1 RNA was positive at time of presentation, suggesting HIV-1 primary infection"
I want to know whether the person's antibody, RNA and antigen are all negative in the past 9 months? What is "presentation"?

We generally do not get into discussions about papers on this forum. All I will say is that HIV science does not support their conclusions.
