How long will it take HIV symptoms to show?

It can take up to 10 years for any symptoms of HIV to develop. However, they can appear as early as 6 weeks after the date of infection. If you feel you might have any symptoms, go to your local public health office, or your doctor, and get tested. There are new tests available that do not involve any blood draws, and they are also highly accurate.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local department of public health. Free testing is available, as well as risk reduction, and post-infection counseling.

it takes years ... and in some cases the virus is dormant for up to 10 years ... but when it starts .. a disaster is waiting ,,

wishing all a best health away from it
