What does the term seroconversion mean in relation to an HIV infection?
What will be an ideal response?
Seroconversion is the point during an infection at which antibodies specific for the pathogen can first be detected in the blood serum. In an HIV infection, antibody is produced when virions are being released from infected cells and are thus accessible to B-cell antigen receptors, a period referred to as acute viremia. During clinical latency, the level of infectious virus in plasma decreases markedly but does not disappear.
