Question

Can I tell when I became HIV positive?

I wanted to know, based on my CD4 count of 460 and viral load 51,000 . Is there a way to estimate the duration of my infection? I mean How long have I had HIV .
Thank you again!
I’ve already started my treatment
Thank you

Answer

Thanks for your question.

Unfortunately there isn’t a test that can show when you became HIV positive. Sometimes you can make a good guess based on test results and your history of risk. This will only be a guess though.
