ARS threshold time
The doc on this forum says here (and in other posts) that ARS usually happens within 10-20 days.

Howeverm I went to an NHS GUM clinic yesterday and she said my symptoms at 2 weeks (my eye for example which is ok now I think), are not HIV and it is too EARLY at 2 weeks. She said 4-6 weeks.
On the Body a doc said ARS starts after a number of weeks (cant remember post now)
So, the question is who is correct? I have heard most people who are infected show up on antibody tests within a month or 6 weeks, so does that mean that 10-20 days is correct. I know you cant say exactly when, but thre is obviously a difference between 10-20 days and 4-6 weeks.
