Lybrate-user, Whosoever unnecessarily testing for HIV on more than three occasion is called a psychological case - HIV Phobia. Though incubation period for symptoms/signs could be 5-10 years, incubation period for HIV antibodies test is 3 weeks to 3 months, depending on different tests. More details on this could be through Private Consult with audio-video chat. Please pay through Lybrate and then we can set up a call.
