Seroconversion
I have one question I need clarified, please.
I have heard from a few people on these boards that the average seroconversion rate is 22 days post exposure.
Does this mean a person who contracted HIV would test positive on an antibody test the day they seroconvert? Or does it still take a while longer for the body to make enough antibodies to show on a test?
Thank you!

So, 50% of people will test positive at 3 weeks? Or that 50% of people seroconvert?
Its not fair though. I just want the peace of mind of a 7 week test if it is in fact, negative.
There is nowhere else I can go to get a rapid test.

They keep charts on everyone. They didnt ask for ID when I filled out the forms so now I wish I had used fake information.
Anyway, they were even writing down in my chart that I was having severe anxiety.
