incubation period for hiv
On average, the HIV incubation period in adults is estimated at between one and six months. This estimate is wide, since not all people get tested around the time of symptom appearance, if at all. Symptoms generally manifest as a cold, flu, or general âunder the weatherâ feeling.f symptoms appear after six months, it may be advisable to get re-tested even if the six month test came up negative. In terms of the progression of HIV to AIDS, the HIV incubation period can vary extensively based on genes, general health, and treatment.
