| seroconversion |
The development of antibodies to a particular antigen. When people develop antibodies to HIV, they "seroconvert" from antibody-negative to antibody-positive. It may take from as little as one week to several months or more after infection with HIV for antibodies to the virus to develop. After antibodies to HIV appear in the blood, a person should test positive on antibody tests. See Incubation Period; Window Period.
