This is the process during which HIV establishes itself in the bloodstream and during which antibodies begin to be produced.This process is known to occur as little as several weeks after initial exposure to several months after initial exposure.The symptoms, when and if they occur, mimic those of other viral infections like colds or mild influenza. They rarely last longer than several days to a couple of weeks. Some people have reported longer episodes.It's important to understand that these symptoms are not AIDS, which would likely take ten years or longer to develop in the absence of treatment.With treatment, AIDS can practically always be prevented.It's also important to understand that a primary infection response is no way to judge if HIV infection has taken place. There is no way to know if any given symptoms are related to HIV.To know, you must be tested. See your doctor or go to an HIV clinic.
