Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibodies to HIV can be detected in the blood as early as 3-8 weeks following exposure, with most people seroconverting (developing detectable antibodies) within 12 weeks. Waiting 1-2 years or 4-5 years is too long to wait for antibody detection, and 15-20 weeks may be too late for early detection and effective treatment.
