Hi Worriedwell37. The statistics are as follows; at 4 weeks 50% of people would have produced the antibodies to HIV, at 6 weeks 95% of people have the antibodies and at 12 weeks 99.9% have produced the antibodies. The test would be accurate about 7 days after the onset of seroconversion symptoms, regardless of the time since infection, however there is no way of saying your symptoms are a cause of seroconversion. The BioSURE HIV Self Test detects your antibodies to HIV as opposed to the virus itself. The early symptoms of HIV seroconversion are caused by the body creating antibodies to the virus. Symptoms are a consequence of seroconversion and that cannot start until 21 days post infection. I hope this makes sense. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd
