What is the inccubation for HIV?

The term incubation is not generally used in reference to HIV infection. However, there is a period of time when someone can be infected with the virus and test negative. The "window period" refers to the period of time between when someone is infected with HIV until they can test positive. The "window period" is anywhere between 28 and 90 days after infection. The "window period" occurs because the standard HIV tests detect anitbodies that occur as a result of HIV infection. Antibodies are not immediately detectable after infection.
