delayed seroconversion
Hi guys I'm worried and would appreciate your help. About four months ago I had an unprotected encounter with a friend. I would not class her as high risk. Since then I have had tests at 4 weeks, 8.5 weeks and 11.5 weeks all negative. I have been experiencing a stiff neck and headaches and suspect possible meningitis. Hearing this is a symptom of acute HIV infection and that it may delay seroconversion I am nervous that I am one of those people who may seroconvert late. What are the chances of me testing positive after three months? has anyone heard of meningitis causing delayed seroconversion before? Any response would be appreciated many thanks
Hi guys, thanks for you comments. Is 11.5 weeks enough or as it is short of the three month mark should I test once more? I only mentioned the meningitis as I read an article stating that those patients with HIV suspected meningitis should be monitored for delayed serconversion. I have no idea if this is correct.
Your 3 month post exposure test will be conclusive. Meningitis will not delay seroconversion.
