The first few months after infection with HIV
(the human immunodeficiency virus).
D uring primary HIV infection, seroconversion occurs -- the appearance of detectable
antibodies to HIV in the blood. It normally takes several weeks to several months
for antibodies to the virus to develop after HIV transmission. When antibodies to
HIV appear in the blood, a person will test positive in the standard ELISA test
for HIV.
Primary HIV infection may or may not include acute HIV, a flu-like syndrome that
occurs immediately after a person contracts HIV. Acute HIV is characterized by fever,
sore throat, headache, skin rash and swollen glands (lymphadenopathy).
